AYS&B Baseball Bat Rules
If your bat does not feature the USA Baseball stamp it will not be allowed for use in league play. Big barrel bats, up to a 2-5/8" barrel that feature the new stamp will also be allowed.
Effective January 1, 2018, with the exception of the -3 bat (BBCOR certified), all other 2-1/4” and 2-5/8” minus factor bats (-5, -7, -8, etc.) must be certified with the USABat licensing stamp on the bat in order to be used for league and tournament play. 2-1/4” and 2-5/8” minus factor bats (-5, -7, -9, etc.) used in 2017 will be illegal to use.
Below are a few resources that detail the new bat rule:
