Bat Rules for the 2014 Season
As you’re gearing up for the season, please note that Little League International has issued specific, updated guidance regarding baseball bats. 

If you already own a bat, or are considering purchasing a new one, please spend a few minutes reading about the topic and reviewing the approved bat list.

Intermediate Bat Rules
Please note, the Intermediate division plays by Juniors bat rule 1.10. 

Full details can be found here:  http://www.littleleague.org/Page58622.aspx 

Put it in its simplest terms, Juniors division bat rules do not permit composite barrel bats unless they are certified with a BBCOR stamp (2 5/8” big barrel, -3 ounces). 

Below is an easy to read grid outlining the rules.
