More detailed information on bats can be found in the CSMLBA Procedures document.
The procedure regarding this is as follows:
14.09.2
Should a bat be deemed by the UIC to be illegal (i.e. tampered with) under OBR 6.03 (5), then OBR 6.03 (5) shall be applied.
Should a non-compliant bat (i.e. not listed in the table in 14.09) be used during the course of a game and identified before the next batter receives a pitch, the offending batter is given out, and the runners are reset prior to the at bat.
At any point a non-compliant bat is identified a warning will be issued to the offending team, that the bat must be removed from the game.
Should the non-compliant bat be subsequently used in the game; the offending batter will be ejected from the game.
Some of the bats being used even pre-dated the outlawed BESR standard.
Whilst some bats are brand new, bought from Asia but fail to be compliant with correct permitted standards of Baseball Australia and BNSW.
Should you have any questions or concerns please talk to your Club Executive (President, Secretary etc)
