On January 1, 2018, USA Baseball implemented the USABat Standard for non-wood youth baseball bats.

The bats listed below have been compliance tested and ruled non-compliant under the USABat Standard.
Team representatives are asked to check your team’s bats and withhold these bats from play if your team is in possession of any. League administrators are asked to share this information with your umpires. If any of these bats are attempted to be used during competition, it should be considered an illegal bat and subject to league rules regarding the use of illegal or unapproved bats.
