BBCOR Certified

BBCOR stands for Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution. This new rule is designed to make non-wood bats even more wood-like in their performance. All BBCOR bats can be easily identified by the BBCOR mark. The start date for required use of BBCOR bats depends on the barrel material of the bat and the level of play.
