*** Decertification of 33-inch Marucci CAT5 Bat USA Baseball has advised us that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has provided official notice that the BBCOR decertification process has been implemented for the Marucci CAT5 33-inch model bat.

Effectively immediately and until notified otherwise, this bat (Marucci CAT5 33-inch length) should be considered non-compliant and subject to Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Rules 1.10 and 6.06(d). It should be noted that the National Federation of State High School Associations has taken similar action.  

The list above is current as of 1/6/2012. It was last updated on December 29, 2011 and approved for the 2012 little league season. Little League will update this list when/if it receives testing results from the manufacturer(s) showing the bat meets the specifications.
