In Cooperstown last week, I started getting nervous for the pitchers. The ball flies off the bat so fast and hard. I said to myself - these kids should be using BBCOR.
I heard that Florida travel is moving to BBCOR in January. What's the word here in Georgia? Will it go below high school age any time soon? |

| I is my understanding that only the -3 bats have the BBCOR rating. Not sure if 9-12U could handle the -3 bats just yet. |

| I'd like to see a progression from drop 10 to drop 3 as the field sizes change. I'd like to see permanently affixed color coded rings just above the grip handle so umps could see that the bat is field size/age appropriate. The rings would have to be difficult to replicate. Maybe a hologram logo like the Upper Deck baseball cards have on them. |

Rustybucket, my boys play 13u AA and most of the kids use a
-5, and will move to a -3 next year. |

Not sure many -6 and -4 exist in the world.

Actually, I don't think I'd advocate a -5 at 12U. For the smaller kids who haven't hit a growth spurt yet, it would be tough to swing.
Maybe a limitation on the composite bats for younger ages, similar to BBCOR or BESR? |
