These bats are illegal:

33 inch Marucci CAT 5

33 inch Reebok Vector TLS

all sizes of the original Rip It Prototype (unless labeled "BBCOR Re Certified" down by the handle grip)


The above BBCOR stamped bats (specific manufactures, models and sizes) are as of yesterday 4/30/12 the only decertified / illegal for high school play bats. Does any one disagree with this list?

Found this on the PIAA web site today. This is their most current rules update bulletin.

2012 Baseball Bulletin II: 5/4/2012

DECERTIFICATION OF 33-INCH MARUCCI CAT5 AND REEBOK VECTOR BATS

The 33 inch Mariucci and Reebok Vector bats have been de-certified by the NCAA and are now listed as non-compliant bats. By this action, these bats are not to be used in PIAA member schools contests. Please review all information posted upon the PIAA web site on the baseball page for more details on the Mariucci bat.


I think the writer of this bulletin screwed the pooch again! The headline of DECERTIFICATION OF 33-INCH MARUCCI CAT5 AND REEBOK VECTOR BATS is fine. However, the text of the bulletin refers to "the 33 inch Mariucci" as a non-compliant bat. There are 3 different 33 inch Marucci bats! (the Team Marucci, the Marucci Black and the Marucci CAT5. Why can't they explain to their game officials (umpires) the needed info required to know which Marucci is decertified? They don't even spell Marucci correctly in the text of the bulletin. That is embarrassing!
