If you do not know what he is talking about then why are you so dismissive?

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.

Middle school is probably playing under Fed rules which require the bat to have a BESR certification mark if it is not a wood bat.
