Effective this year, if your current bat does not have the following imprints on it, then it will not be accepted into our games this season and going forward.
The new bat rule requires all teams to line all bats in dugout intended for use in the game with the "thumbprint" clearly visible. The umpire will look at all bats, giving the go ahead for them to be used. No SPN approved "thumbprint" = illegal. If any bat is found before game, that bat is removed. If an illegal bat is brought into the game, that player is automatically out and his spot in the order becomes an out every time.
Looking for a new bat? Ensure it follows up to date SPN guidelines and has either of the following imprints as indicated below or you will not be able to use your bat during any MMSPL league games.
