Bat Regulations

Bats used Cal Ripken conform with either the USA Baseball Bat Standard or the NCAA BBCOR Standard, both of which ensure that all bats, regardless of material, perform similarly to a wood bat. One or both standards are in use across virtually all youth, high school and college baseball organizations.
