They won't get that bat approved. Apparently they changed the specs after getting some prototypes approved. The production models are nowhere near the required BBCOR of 0.5. The NFHS official I spoke to described these bats as "hotter than a pistol," whatever that means.

So perhaps they're manufacturing a new model to meet the requirements, but the illegal bats have no shot at being "reapproved."
