For those looking for more information on the Little League composite bat ban, the organization has released a list of approved youth bats.

You can view the list (.pdf) here.

Update: Little League has released an updated list.

We have received some information on how Little League plans to proceed with re-testing composite-barreled bats. They’ll be rolling it out in the next few weeks, and they will reinstate any bat that still performs within the league’s bat standard after a thorough break-in process.

At this point, no bats have been reinstated. We are unsure of any bat being reinstated, and we expect the process to take several weeks before we know any of the results.

We will pass along any news we get as soon as we hear it.

In the meantime, Little League has released a Q & A with some of the most frequently asked questions about the bat ban.
