IN CONJUNCTION WITH USA BASEBALL AND ITS PARTICIPATING NATIONAL MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, DIZZY DEAN BASEBALL HAS ADOPTED THE NEW USA BASEBALL BAT STANDARD (USABat). EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE -3 BAT (BBCOR CERTIFIED), ALL 2 1/4, 2 5/8, 2 3/4 INCH MINUS FACTOR BATS (-5, -7,-9, ETC.)
