Beginning in January 2012, the following new baseball bat rules will take effect:

• In 2012, High School rules will mandate that all players use a -3 BBCOR bat. A BBCOR bat more simulates a wood bat. In 2012, CBSA will also adopt this rule and all High School leagues will require a BBCOR bat.
• In 2012, tournament rules will mandate that all youth league bats have a 1.15 Bat Performance Rating (BPF). A “legal” bat will have a 1.15 BPF stamp on it. A 1.15 BPF bat will have reduced rebound as a ball leaves the bat. In 2012, CBSA will also adopt this rule and all youth bats (8U thru 14U) must have the 1.15 BPF stamp.
  • You can hit the following link for more details on the 1.15 BPF stamp bats: 2012 BAT RULES.pdf
• For 2012, CBSA will still maintain our current bat ratio rules:
  • 11U/ 12U -9.5 (with 1.15 BPF stamp)
  • 13U/ 14U -5.5 (with 1.15 BPF stamp)
  • High School -3.0 (BBCOR bat)
• For 2012, the CBSA 14U Gold Select will continue to be a wood bat league.
