He is concerned with the differential. It is different among different leagues and ages.
If you are working in a league that has a differential requirement...
oh hell, you are probably right. A t-ball umpire would not need to know this. You were right to begin with.  |
It's a fair (but specific) question. I'll get the specifics wrong, but in IL JH ball, the rule is something like: if the bat is 33" or more, then -3 applies. If the bat is 31" or 32", then -5 applies. If the bat is 30" or less, then -7 applies. The idea is that the smaller kids need a lighter bat and won't be able to generate the excess speed with it.
