And a side effect of all this is the kid with a legal bat who works on his hitting and hits a nice bomb is suspected, by some, of using a shaved or illegal bat. No one is really winning with this bat issue. Either you are cheating and therefore losing OR you are doing it the right way and are being suspected of cheating. Won't ever happen in a million years but go back to wood at all ages..................
I don't have a problem with a kid having an old -3 BESR or unstamped bat in his bag to use in the cage or BP but don't use it in the game. All paint jobs for the new stamped and new BBCOR bats should have been changed so they could easily be identified by umps, coaches and kids. There should have been "NO" grand fathered bats allowed. If it was not a 2012 bat it should not be legal. This would have made it all easier for everyone.

They shouldn't have made a "change" without changing anything.....The reason bat companies can stamp and sell off their old stock is the BATS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!!!
"Illegal Bats" - What's being done?
