HA HA.. 1 bat is legal..

I guess congrats to Mattingly sports for having the 1 and only legal composite bat in the Little League Major division.

COMPOSITE-BARRELED BATS (2 1/4 INCH BARRELS) THAT MEET THE BAT PERFORMANCE FACTOR (BPF) STANDARD, AND THE ACCELERATED BREAK IN (ABI) PROCEDURE, ARE LISTED BELOW. THIS LIST MAY HAVE MORE MODELS ADDED TO IT AS MORE BATS ARE TESTED. THESE BATS ARE THE ONLY COMPOSITE-BARRELED BASEBALL BATS THAT ARE PERMITTED TO BE USED IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE (MAJORS) DIVISION AND BELOW, AS OF JANUARY 20, 2011, WHEN THIS LIST WAS LAST UPDATED.

More on the "non-wood" approved bats.

The more I read about the composite bat ban, the more frustrated I am.  By the way, it is a "non-wood" approved list, http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/2011ApprovedNonWoodBatList.pdf   This list has always existed.  Look for the "little league" writing on the barrel.

However,  approved composite bats is a pitiful list.  The -3 are big barreled for Babe Ruth/High School and not approved for the Majors and lower divisions.  There is currently only 1 approved for little league composite barreled bat.  And it is $199.
