1.10 - The bat must be a baseball bat which meets Little League specifications and standards as noted in this rule. It shall be a smooth, rounded stick and made of wood or of material and color tested and proved acceptable to Little League standards.
Little League (Majors) and below: it shall not be more than thirty-three (33) inches in length nor more than two and one-quarter (2¼) inches in diameter. Non-wood bats shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less;
Over the last several years, most of the bats made by the top manufacturers have been compliant with the maximum 1.15 Bat Performance Factor (BPF). The difference is that beginning in 2009, all bats used in Little League Baseball must be imprinted with the BPF.
If you plan on purchasing a bat for this season, make sure that it is imprinted with a BPF that is less than or equal to 1.15.
