McKinney Little League Baseball Local Bat Rule

Updated: 4/8/2013 1:58:54 PM

For All Divisions except for the Junior Program and above.

2 1/4= legal if BPF is 1.15 or less.  All Composite barreled bats that are 2 1/4 are prohibited unless approved by Little League International.

Here is the link to approved 2 1/4 bats:  http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/licensedcompositebats.htm

Players using Bats on this approved list must download the LLB Waiver and have on hand. This is the same rule we used and played with for Fall 2012. The board will look again at the ruling and the amendment before the Fall 2013 season begins  to see if a change needs to be made
 

2013 Rule 3(a) – Illegal Bat Penalty

Rule 3 has been rewritten to provide the penalty for the use of an illegal bat:
3(a). In all levels and divisions, the penalty for use of an illegal bat [see Rule 6.06 (d)], if discovered before the next player enters the batter’s box following the turn at bat of the player who used an illegal bat, is:i. The batter is out (NOTE: The manager of the defense may advise the plate umpire of a decision to decline this portion of the penalty and accept the play. Such election shall be made immediately at the end of the play), and;ii. he manager of the team will be ejected from the game, the batter who violated the rule will be ejected from the game, and the offensive team will lose one eligible adult base coach for the duration of the game.
