For the safety of our players, Des Plaines
Baseball is adopting
new rules this year for the maximum barrel size and weight
differential (drop) for aluminum bats. Team managers and
coaches will
strictly enforce these new rules. If you have a
question about any of
these rules, check with the league or
your team manager before you
purchase a bat.
Pinto
Maximum 2-1/4 inch barrel. No restriction on differential.
Mustang
Maximum 2-1/4 inch barrel. Maximum drop -13.
Bronco
Maximum 2-1/4 inch barrel. Maximum drop -12.
Pony
Maximum 2-5/8 inch barrel. Maximum drop -8.
The differential, or "drop" is the difference
between the length of the bat in inches and the weight of the bat in
ounces. So a 30" bat that weighs 20 ounces is a "drop 10" or
"-10". Check the label before you buy a new bat.
