Pony Bat Rules For 2012

With recent rule change in the past twelve months, no doubt ball players and their parents are wondering what baseball bats will be legal in Pony Baseball for 2012.

After speaking on the phone with a representative from PONY baseball.

Here are the rules for the 2012 PONY season:

  • 2 ¾” barrel bats are NOT approved for play at any level.
  • Material is NOT a factor at any level of play.
  • Any 2 ¼” barrel non-wood bat that is marked with “1.15 BPF” and stamped “Approved for play in PONY Baseball” can be used at any level of play.
  • Any 2 5/8” barrel non-wood bat (that is not a -3) can be used at any level of play.
  • If a player wants to use a -3 non-wood bat, it MUST be BBCOR approved.

 So the only changes from the 2011 season are:

  • 2 ¾” barrel bats are no longer legal
  • -3 bats must be BBCOR approved

      1. ■Any 2 5/8” barrel non-wood bat (that is not a -3) can be used at any level of play.

        Pony stamp only needed for 2 1/4″-2 1/2″ bats.
        Your bat is a -10, it is legit for play it any division

  2. My daughter has a Worth composite USSSA 1.20 BPF ASA2004 stamp. Is the BPF different for softball than the 1.15 for baseball? Brand new bat…. hope it’s legal for PONY & ASA tournaments.

    Thanks!

  3. Just purchased a 2011 black voodoo big barrel. Does not have 1.15 bpf on it. Is this good for pony level in 2012?

    1. Pretty much everywhere now requires the new USSSA 1.15 Stamp. But it is best to ask a league official in order to be 100% sure.
