Baseball Bat Certification Explained USSSA USA BBCOR 

The lightest bat possible

Great one piece alloy bat. We consider the Cat Series 8 and 9 as some of the best one piece alloy bats. Great balance and good pop.

@@TheBatGuru thanks for the response

if its a USSSA league and 14u or younger you can use usssa bat (bat drop varies by age bracket) some 14u & 13u tournaments are BBCOR only. 15u and up, all NFHS, collegiate etc are gonna be all BBCOR. Wood bats are legal in all leagues at all levels.

Nah only BBCOR or USA

SCANGANGATROOPER BOT you can use any bat as long as it has the USA stamp for Little League. Rawlings QUATRO and Louisville Solo are two of the better USA bats

@@TheBatGuru does it have to be a specific weight drop or any for little league

SCANGANGATROOPER BOT no just has to have the USA Stamp

@@TheBatGuru can you use the Easton beast pro -8 USA in normal little league?

@@scangangatrooperbot8926 yes

They are different bats and hard to compare. They don’t make -3 USA Bats nor do they make anything lighter than a -3 in BBCOR, so there really is no way to compare them. Sorry

They acutally don't make USA bats in a -3, but around here they allow the -3 BBCOR bats to be used in some Leagues that require USA Stamp.

Some Middle Schools allow but some don’t. You will need to check with your coach to see if your Middle School falls under High School rules. If they do, you will be required to use a BBCOR bat

Baseball is BBCOR Certification only. Softball has to have ASA/USA certification for High School

It depends on a few things, do you like end load or balanced bats, are you looking for contact or power, what’s your budget? I would recommend a composite demarini cf zen if you can afford it

@@RealAquaticRyan he is swinging a one piece cat 9 now. Has some power for sure. Tested out the new meta the other day and loved it. If you had to suggest an end loaded and also balanced for someone with power. What would they be. One piece or 2, composite or not doesn't matter. Thank you

The DeMarini Zoa is the bat that has really taken off this year. I will be doing a video on the technology of the Zoa tomorrow.

@@TheBatGuru thank you he did do a demo on that one hit really well but didn't like how end loaded it was because it made it to heavy on the end and hard to get inside pitches. He like the metta which was more balanced. What do you think about that one?

Yes. High School bats have to -3 and BBCOR certified

Most leagues that require USA bats will also allow BBCOR, but you may want to double check with your league

I believe BBCOR is allowed but not sure why you would want to do that? USSSA bats have quite a bit more performance than BBCOR bats

@@TheBatGuru because I got him the meta pwr its 33inchs 3 drop so I was wondering

BASEBALL withtheGOAT no, you cannot use USSSA in Little League Baseball. Little League adopted the USA standard. The only exception is is if your local league doesn’t follow National Rules and allows USSSA. For that you would need to check with your local league

BASEBALL withtheGOAT yeah you can it fine I’ve been Using usssa forever in my little league

Sam the Man only if Local League decides they aren’t following rules. Link to Little League Bat Rules: www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/bat-rules/

Nana is vibing yes. USSSA allows USA, BBCOR, and Wooden bats

The Bat Guru thanks much man I’ve been looking at some really good and pretty cheap bats for this fall definitely makes me happy I can use the bat I want

Bro I had the same question going into this vid 😂😂
