Little League Updates List of Approved Composite Bats

Little League International has expanded its moratorium on the use of composite bats to all of its baseball divisions - including the Majors division for boys and girls ages 9 to 12. Originally announced in December, the moratorium disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with composite material in the barrel unless a specific model shows in laboratory testing that, after the bat is broken in, it will not exceed the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard printed on the bat.

The Williamsport, Pa.-based organization's move follows that of the National Federation of State High School Associations, which outlawed composite bats - constructed with the same aluminum exterior as standard aluminum bats, but with a woven graphite wall on the interior - for the 2010-11 season.
