Bat Regulations

Baseball Australia agreed on the introduction of new bat rules with all States and Territories. These rules came into effect from 1st September 2015 and has applied to all club, State and National games from that point onwards.

If you are intending to buy a new bat, please speak with the team at Red Stitches as they know the rules and will sell you the correct bat. There are a number of banned bats for sale at Rebel Sport and if you have an incorrect bat, you will not be able to use it.

All Senior (Adult) bats must be BBCOR unless using wood
Wood bats may be used at any level provided they meet the same requirements of aluminium or composite barrel bats specific to that league age and they are listed on the current year official list by the WBSC.
Female players competing in Male dominated leagues or competitions are able to use bats which correspond with their league age or competition bat specifications. (E.G. A Senior League age eligible female competing in a Senior Minor League is able to swing an aluminium or composite barrel bat which coincides with Senior League bat regulations and specifications).
