It depends on what level of LL you are in. You are correct for the age specified in the OP but it isn't that across all of LL.

If you are majors or below the non-wood bat must have a BPF rating of 1.15 or lower - no drop limit - 2 1/4" max diameter. Bats with a composite barrell must be on the approved composite bat list at the LL web site.

If you are in juniors (13-14) composite bats must be BBCOR. Other non-wood are 2 5/8" max diameter and have no drop limit

If you are in seniors and above (14-18) ALL non-wood bats must be BBCOR, 2 5/8" max and -3 drop max.
