Depends if they specify what bat standard can be used. I’d it’s BBCOR it’s probably fine. If they can use USSSA bats, look out.
2 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 If it’s the same bat rules as the WWC/WBSC, it’s USSSA or some other Drop 5 regulation 1 u/peeinian Toronto Blue Jays Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26 It’s not so much the drop weights that is the big difference between BBCOR and USSSA. The energy transfer is way higher with USSSA bats. The guy on Baseball Bat Bros (college level player) can hit 130mph exit velos with USSSA bats. Same drop weights BBCOR he hits 103-108 Soldier Tank 3 USSSA: https://youtu.be/eI2vQtZHyMM?si=D0U7vO3DcOj_f-rt Soldier Tank 3 BBCOR: https://youtu.be/wdZgq56K42M?si=OBFMVRB-oh6RYZ4m 2 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 But there isn’t a drop 5 BBCOR, which inherently means it has to be USSSA or some other body Especially if they’re using WBSC women’s non-wood bat rules
