What that means:

2 1/4” barrel bats must be alloy (alloy metal – no “composite”) – suitable for Rookie Live and below

2 5/8” barrel bats must either:

– be marked “USA bat” – suitable for Minors, Majors, Junior League. May be used in Rookie Live and Zooka.

– be marked as BBCOR particularly if they are “composite” material – suitable for Senior League and above.

We are very lucky to have Red Stitches in our area at 6/5 Sefton Rd Thornleigh. If you are intending to buy a new bat go to them as they know the rules and will sell you the correct bat. There are a number of banned bats for sale at Rebel and if you have an incorrect bat you will not be able to use it.
