NSYBL Bat Rules

NSYBL Bat Regulations

All bats used need to be stamped with the USA Baseball logo/emblem. It is the responsibility of each team to ensure that the bat restrictions are followed. Wood bats are allowed in all age divisions. No BBCOR Bats are permitted in the NSYBL.

PENALTY:

• If the illegal bat is discovered prior to a batter completing his “at bat”, the bat is simply removed from play and the “at bat” continues.
• A player who uses an illegal bat or non-conforming barrel dimension and hits a fair ball will be ruled out. No advancement on the bases will be allowed, and any outs during the play shall stand. This is an appeal play. The “at bat” will be considered legal once a pitch is thrown to the next batter.
• Any bat discovered prior to the game that does not conform to the above rule shall be directed to be removed immediately and not be allowed for use during the game.
• A second offense to the bat rule in the same game will result in a forfeit for that offending team.
