Beginning next spring (2012), all baseball bats used in Minnesota State High School League play must meet the BBCOR (Bat Ball Coefficient Of Restitution) standard. In order to be eligible for use in league contests, a bat must have this symbol on it. Again, that starts next spring.
This spring there have been some rule changes regarding bats, specifically composite bats. There is more information about what bats are eligible at the State High School League website. Check out the list of composite bats that will be legal this spring, and the list of illegal composite bats.
So please keep this in mind if you or your son plans to buy a new bat soon. It would be wise to buy one with the BBCOR symbol. Any bat without that symbol will be illegal in 2012. In other words, BESR-certified (Ball Exit Speed Ratio) bats will not be allowed.
