What is the new USABat standard?
• USA Baseball is essentially adopting the same test for yth bats that the NCAA uses for college bats • .530 BBCOR for Youth is equivalent to .500 BBCOR for Adult (HS/College) • Cannon speed ‐ Youth tests at 100mph / Adult tests at 136mph • Ball – Youth uses a youth ball (Wilson A1074LL1) / Adult uses an NCAA ball (Rawlings R1 NCAA) • Max barrel diameter changes to 2 5/8” for ALL players 14 & Under • Estimated that the new standard will reduce ball exit speed by about 10‐15% compared to the 1.15bpf bats
