USA Baseball (USABat) bats
USABat is the youth bat standard in force since January 1, 2018 (USA Baseball). USA Baseball lists the divisions where it's legal, for example Little League up to Junior League, Babe Ruth's younger division, PONY up to 14U and NABF up to 14U; older divisions aren't on that list. USSSA accepts bats with the USA Baseball mark within its drop limits (no lighter than -8 at 13U; BBCOR or wood at 14U).
Legal in, 2027 season:
- Little League: Minors and Majors, Intermediate 50/70 and Junior League
- USSSA travel ball: 7U, 8U-9U, 10U, 11U-12U, 13U
- Cal Ripken: Rookie, Minor (10U), 12U (Major/60 and Major/70)
