2009 Rule Change - Bats

Posted by Michelle Law on Nov 09 2008 at 04:00PM PST

Attention Parents:

 

Beginning with the 2009 to current Little League Baseball season, baseball bats with a diameter of 2 ¾ inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division of Baseball.
 
Baseball bats with a 2 5/8 inch diameter are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior, Senior and Big League).
 
The "minus-3" requirement, overall weight (in ounces) of a bat can be no more than three ounces below the overall length (in inches) of the bat, remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is NOT a requirement in Junior and lower divisions of Little League Baseball.
 
Also, in effect for the 2009 to current season is the requirement that all non-wood bats used in all Little League Baseball Divisions shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less.
