I have been very diligent in checking bats before and during my 6 scrimmage games and 5 "for real" games so far here in Texas. I have not seen an illegal bat yet.
. . . With the possible exception of the Easton Connexion bat. It definitely is not "a smooth cylinder made of wood, aluminum, magnesium or graphite composite" (FED 1-1-5) It is plainly marked "Patented two-piece technology." There is a rubber or plastic connector at about the 18=inch mark which is definitely not smooth nor is it "wood, Al, Mg, or graphite composite." I have asked a question of the TASO state office as to whether this bat is legal, but I have not received an answer. I find it difficult to believe that Easton would market this bat to high schools if it is not legal, but I will not allow it to be used in my games until and unless I get definite word that it is legal.
