Reply to "Shaved and Rolled Bats"

I have seen shaved and rolled bats and to the naked eye they do not seem to show any outward appearance of being altered. I would not have known they were altered except for the fact that I was told beforehand.

I have been fortunate enough to work the PONY World Series where the tourney staff requires each team to present each bat to be used in the WS to be weighed. Each bat is weighed and compared against a chart of verified weights by model and manufacturer.

If it is found to be underweight it is banned from the field. If it passes weight requirements, a small sticker is affixed to the bat just above the handle. Any player that uses a bat without the sticker is out and ejected.
