Update made to NCAA Approved Softball Bat List

As a result of in-season bat compliance testing, effective immediately, the DeMarini CFP13 is being removed from the NCAA Approved Softball Bat List. 

 

Updated bat list

 

The updated list can also be found on the NCAA Softball Central Hub at www.sup.arbitersports.com and at www.NCAA.org/playingrules.

 

When reviewing the bat list, please note that a bat on the list with a strike(s) may be used in competition. Also, the summary of changes to the listing appears in a separate document. DEL means that model was deleted from the list and cannot be used.

 

Coaches are reminded that they are responsible for legally equipping their team, and bats used in competition MUST appear on the current approved bat list. They are to provide umpires with a current bat list; highlight and indicate the number of each model of bats their team will be using during each game. Bats are to be checked before every game. 

 

Please contact Dee Abrahamson or Ashlee Follis with questions.
