Updated Information on Bat Moratorium

Spring is around the corner, the Major League Players are in training so the start of Little League is only weeks away.  Kids and parents may be considering a new bat and one of the biggest challenges players and parents face right now is understanding the rule changes being made in regards to composite barreled bats.

Wooden and aluminum metal/alloy bats are not subject to the moratorium. Bats that have only a metal or alloy barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat), and if it meets the other standards (length, diameter, etc. for the respective division in which it is used) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle or the transition to the barrel.

The moratorium is on composite barreled bats.

Before purchasing any bat, please visit our website and the NEW "Is My Bat Legal?" section and make yourself familiar with the rules. 

The link will bring you to the current approved list of bats for each age group as well as a FAQ created by Little League officials (Majors Divison Little League Bat Rules).  If you are buying a composite barreled bat - unless you see the bat on the approved list for the appropriate age group, your child will NOT be allowed to use the bat in practices or games.


So how do I determine if my Major's division bat is approved?

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers for the Little League (Majors) Baseball Division and below can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm (This list was updated on March 8, 2011.)

A listing of licensed, non-wood/non-composite baseball bats for use in the Little League (Majors) Division and below can be found here: http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/2011ApprovedNonWoodBatList.pdf (This list is updated regularly, please download for latest version)
 

---

The Senior division follows the bat rules handed down by MIAA Baseball Committee.  The link is to the ruling update issued by the MIAA Bat  (MIAA Bat Update for 2011) for the 2011 season.  If you are buying a composite barreled bat - unless you see the bat on the approved list for the appropriate age group, your child will NOT be allowed to use the bat in practices or games. 

So how do I determine if my Senior and Junior division bat is approved?

A comprehensive list of approved and non-approved BESR non-wood bats from the NCAA Bat Certification facility at the Washington State University Sport Science Laboratory (WSUSSL) is available.  The WSUSSL website provides a user-friendly model and bat search engine.  The approved and non-approved lists can be searched specifically by bat categories including - manufacturer, model, length, and barrel class and are found at the following links:

NFHS BESR Certified Bats - http://www.mme.wsu.edu/~ssl/certified/besr/certified.html
NFHS BESR Unapproved Bats - http://www.mme.wsu.edu/~ssl/certified/banned/certified.html
