Inline with USA Baseball, Babe Ruth, and Cal Ripken standards, PYB will adopt the 2019 Bat requirements for all PYB ages.  More info here: https://www.usabaseball.com/bats  Approved bat list here: https://usabat.com/  Additional Ripken info here: https://www.ripkenbaseball.com/bat-rules  

Bottom line, please make sure any new bat you purchase have one of these logos:

The reasoning behind the new bats are not due to safety reasons.  The goal is to make our game more uniform at the youth level and ensuring the long-term integrity of the game.  USA Baseball has concluded that recent advancements in science, engineering, technology, and the materials available to fabricate non-wood bats, now allow the manufacturers to construct youth bats that can perform at a wood-like level through the entire range of lengths and weights of youth bats.

Thanks,

-PYB
