USSSA Certified Baseball Bats

USSSA Baseball Bats are USSSA approved youth baseball bats with a length-to-weight ratio from Drop 5, Drop 8, Drop 10, Drop 11, and Drop 12. Additionally, in terms of barrel size, USSSA bats have a barrel range that starts at 2 5/8in and goes up to 2 3/4in.

In many leagues, USSSA bats have been outlawed because they often had too much pop causing the balls to fly dangerously fast. As a result, many leagues have switched to either BBCOR or USA bats which hit more like their wood counterparts and are safer all while still being a durable choice. Be sure to double check with your league regarding all bat rules and regulations.

To check if your baseball bat is USSSA certified, simply look for the USSSA stamp on the handle. A 1.15 BPF stamp will indicate that it meets USSSA Baseball Bat standards. If you want to double check, make sure the length-to-width ratio (drop) of your bat’s barrel is between -12 and -5. Similarly, the barrel size should be within 2 5/8in and 2 3/4in.

Yes, USSSA bats have more “pop” than most youth bats. Essentially, this is because USSSA uses a standard of 1.15 bat performance factor. This means that USSSA bats have more "pop" than most other youth bats on the market allowing baseballs to fly faster.
