Junior League (13 year old) Bat Rules

We are changing the bat rules for the 2010 season at the Junior League level. For the 2010 season you may:

Use a bat stamped with a BPF of 1.15 or less
If there is no BPF it must be stamped with 'approved for Little League' or 'Cal Ripken' and be a drop 10 or less (-9 is ok, -11 is not)

History: When we were chartered with Little League they forced us to go to a drop 5 or lower at 13 years-old. However, at 14, a drop 3 is required. So parents would spend a lot of money for a bat for one year's use OR kids would have to swing a very heavy drop 3 bat!

Babe Ruth does not require us to go this route. So, we are going to allow 13's to use their Little League / Cal Ripken bats per above.

If you have any questions please email: methuenbaseball@verizon.net

We expanded our program to include:
