What is 1.15 BPF?
2012 has brought about monstrous changes to the baseball world. We have had the introduction of BBCOR, the banning of certain composite bats, and now, the mandatory 1.15 BPF stamp. With the introduction of so many new rules and changes, Almega Sports has you covered for the season. Let’s break down BPF.
What is 1.15 BPF?
- 1.15 BPF is a testing method for youth and senior league baseball bats. It measures the performance of all bats. Basically, BPF is measuring the exit speed of the ball when hit by non-wood bats.
What does BPF stand for?
- “Bat Performance Factor"
What does the 1.15 BPF stamp look like?<------
What bats are required to carry the 1.15 BPF certification?
- As of January 1, 2012, all youth and senior league bats (small and big barrel) are required to have the 1.15 BPF mark. Any bat not marked has been deemed illegal in USSSA play.
Why are there so many changes in baseball for 2012?
- Bottom line: Player safety. Technology is always improving, and so are the metals used to make bats. The main concern of the industry is player safety.
