The -3 designation for aluminum bats, is intended to make bats perform more like wood correct?
My son plays in a youth league (13-14) yr olds. Not sure of which rule set, most like a modification of some other set. However it apparantly says that in order for a bat to be legal it must have the -3 designation.
If a kid came to the plate with a wood bat with out the -3 designation, would you allow it in the game or throw it out because it doesn't say -3?

If your sons league is governed by Little League International the bbcor rating is only required on composit bats. Those ones must be -3 with the bbcor stamp on them. All other aluminum bats are legal, provided they comply with the proper barrell deminsions and drop requirements. However you may want to inquire with the local league to see if they have implemented their own league by-laws regarding the bats.
