2024 Bat Regulations

Where non-wood bats are permitted, only approved “BBCOR” stamped aluminum bats in the 15U AAA and 18U categories will be permitted for use.  

Note: 15U A, AA, Tier 1, 2 and 3 players may use -5 (or -3) metal bats.
Note: Junior and Senior Players must use wood or wood composite bats.
Note: Wood or wood composite bats are allowed at all levels and there are no weight requirements for wood bats.

• Maximum differential refers to the difference between the length of the bat (inches) and the weight of the bat (ounces). So, a bat that is 30 inches long and 20 ounces is a -10 bat.
