USA Baseball Bat Standard:
In conjunction with USA Baseball and its other participating national member organizations, PONY Baseball has adopted the new USA Baseball bat standard (USABat). Effective January 1, 2018, with the exception of -3 (BBCOR certified), all other 2 5/8" minus factor bats (-5, -7, -9, etc.), must be USABat certified with the USABat licensing stamp on the bat in order to be used for league and tournament play. All 2 5/8" minus factor bats -5, -7, -9, etc. used in 2017 will be illegal to use in 2018. 

The new USABat certified bats bearing the USABat licensing mark are in retail stores now.
