**NEW QUALIFYING BATS COMING SEPTEMBER 1st, 2017**

USA Bat Overview  

Beginning January 1, 2018, participating National Member Organizations, which include:

• American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC)
• Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball
• Dixie Youth Baseball
• Little League Baseball
• PONY Baseball

will adopt the USABat standard for youth baseball and tee ball bats.

Following the implementation of the new standard, only bats certified under USABat featuring USA Baseball’s mark will be authorized for play in youth leagues within the participating National Member Organizations (see your league rule book for detailed bat rules)

ALL BATS MUST HAVE THE STAMP SHOWN BELOW ON BATS:

For youth baseball bats (lengths 27” and longer), the USA Baseball mark signifies that the bat has undergone lab testing to confirm that it performs at a wood-like standard and has been certified under USABat.

Texas Bat Company and licensed bat manufacturers may begin selling certified baseball and tee ball bats featuring the USA Baseball mark on September 1st, 2017.   More information on USABat can be found here: USABat Standard
