Little League International Announces Bat Rules Changes for 2012 Season
Here are the highlights, followed by the actual text of the 2012 baseball bat rules:
- For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below: The moratorium on composite-barreled baseball bats remains in effect. However, some composite-barreled baseball bats that have been proven in laboratory testing to meet the BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard throughout the life of the bat, through the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) process, have received waivers. That list is here: Licensed/Approved Composite 2 1/4 Bats.
Note that in the Little League Majors Baseball Division and below, there is no limit on the “drop” weight of any bat.
- For Junior League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, composite-barreled baseball bats in this division, regardless of barrel size, must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Note that all composite-barreled baseball bats that meet the BBCOR standard have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3.” However, in the Junior League Baseball division, bats that do not have composite materials in the barrel (i.e., all metal, all alloy, all wood), and meet all other applicable standards, can have ANY drop weight. Bats with a barrel of less than 2 5/8 inches also can be used in the Junior League Baseball Division, but must still comply with all other specifications noted.
- For Senior League Baseball and Big League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, all bats with non-wood barrels must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Because all BBCOR bats have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3,” this means all non-wood bats in these divisions must have a drop of no more than minus-3.
The Seguin Little League Field use Policy:
While it is currently board policy that only Seguin Little League teams be allowed to utilize fields and equipment for practicing, it was the consensus of the board that all youth playing baseball and softball in the Seguin area should be allowed to utilize the fields for practices when needed and available. It was also the board members general opinion that select teams and Little League are of tremendous benefit to one another in the development of our area’s baseball and softball players. Due to these feelings, the Seguin Little League Board of Directors will be amending its current policy to allow the use of the fields by select baseball teams in the Seguin area for practicing when fields are not being utilized by Seguin Little League teams.
While we encourage the usage of the fields for practice by select teams, we are currently checking on our insurance policies as it relates to the use of the batting cage areas; and until we can get some clarification as to Seguin Little League liabilities, the batting cages are only allowed to be used by Seguin Little League registered players.
Any select teams that would like to schedule practices at the field will need to contact our Vice President for baseball operations, Mike McCall, at 830-832-5067 to schedule practices for baseball teams or Vice President for softball operations, Chad Conrey, at 830-708-7572 to schedule practices for softball teams . If there are any questions regarding this email please feel free to contact me at 210-364-1738.
