[Umpire in Chief]

I recall there were several bats labeled BBCOR which were deemed illegal. Which models were they. I remember the Reebok Vector. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks.

Noticed those are NCAA references and didn't recognize the Marucci Black bats as being on the FED list.  Maybe those haven't trickled down yet to NFHS, but attached links show only the Reebok Vector TLS 32" & 33" models, and Marucci CAT 5 and CAT 5-2 33" models as decertified for NFHS use.

 

Additionally, we've received clarification from TASO on RIP-IT bats (BBCOR sticker being placed on the taper vice barrel of the bat).

What's the logic of only decertify the 33' Marcucci Cat-5  and not the 32" and the 34"?

It's an odd number.

It failed the test - the others didn't.

[gnhbua93]

According to the court resolution the Marcucci Cat-5 34" is illegal too.  On the other hand why the FED haven't put the Blacks on the illegal bat list.

If it is on the college list consider it illegal in HS, they use the college list as their guide.

Has there been any updates to this list for '14?
