New rules released for 2012 season

by

Little League has released new rule updates for the 2012 regular season and 2012 International Tournament. See http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2011/Sep-Dec/Bulletin-SignificantPolicyRuleRegulationChanges2012.htm for the complete list. Most of the changes are clarifications, but there are a few significant playing rule changes.

As announced a few weeks ago, using an illegal bat can now result in a out for the batter. The revised bat rules announced a few weeks ago are included as well.

Also, newly announced, in the Majors division there is now a dropped third strike rule, although local leagues may opt out during the regular season. There will be a dropped third strike rule for 10-11 Year Olds, 11-12 Year Olds, and all higher levels during the tournament.

2012 Little League Bat Rules posted

by

The bat rules for 2012 have been posted on the Little League web site.

Here are some excerpts/highlights:

  • For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below, the moratorium on composite-barreled baseball bats remains in effect.
  • For Junior League Baseball, composite-barreled baseball bats must meet BBCOR standards, and must be so labeled.
  • For Senior League Baseball and Big League Baseball, all bats with non-wood barrels must meet BBCOR standards, and must be so labeled, and must have a drop of no more than minus-3.
  • The moratorium on composite-barreled bats does not apply to softball.
  • The batter is out for use of an illegal bat. In this context, a bat that is dented, cracked, missing or bad material on the grip, etc. is not illegal, although the bat must still be removed.

You can (and should) read the details at http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2011/Sep-Dec/LLAnnouncesBatRuleChangesfor2012Season.htm, including links to the approved composite bat list and the full text of the affected rules.
