Bat Standards

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.
