St. Croix Valley Baseball Association

Here is the new bat standard. Please be aware that these could change again after the National Convention that is held the first week of January.

For the 2012 MBT/MBL season all bats in the 10 - 14 year old age group, big barrel bats must have the NEW USSSA Approved 1.15 BPF stamp on its taper, Babe Ruth Approved 1.15 BPF stamp or BBCOR stamp. For small barrel bats (2 1/4") use all of the above stamps or you can also use bats that have the old approved USSSA mark. 15 year olds must use a BBCOR bat (Batted Ball Coefficient or Restitution).
