ASA
Bat Testing & Certification Program
The official bat in ASA
Championship Play must meet all of the requirements
of Rule 3, Section 1 and:
- must bear either the
ASA approved 2000 certification mark or the ASA
2004 certification mark as
shown below, and must not be listed on an
ASA non approved list, or
- must be included on a list of approved
bat models published by the ASA National Office;
or
- must, in the sole opinion and discretion
of the umpire, have been manufactured prior to
2000
and if tested, would comply with the ASA
bat performance standards then in effect.
Beginning January 1, 2004, all bats in ASA
Championship Play must pass the ASA 2004 bat
standard. All bats having the
2004 certification mark will be allowed in ASA
Championship Play. Bats that have the 2000
certification mark will not be
allowed in ASA Championship Play unless they are
listed on an approved bat list on the ASA website.
For convenience,
the ASA website has a listing of bats that do not
pass the ASA 2004 bat standard.
