Legal or not.....
By FED rule, is this legal for on-deck batters to have?
Schutt HWB Dirx 96OZ. Weighted Bat | BaseballExpress.com Thx |

Do you think it complies with 1-3-3? I think it's a "weighted bat."

I think it's legal...however I have not worked HS in a while and I know the FED rules can be a little "screwry"..... I know alot of guys here work HS. I watched a scrimmage yesterday and a ump told the head coach to put it away....
Thx for the response.... |

Q: How many legs does a dog have if you call a tail a leg?
A: Four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it so. If that thing were 33" and 30 oz., would you let a batter use it to hit? My opinion is that it is not legal to have in the on-deck circle. Calling it a weighted bat does not make it one. |

Appears to be a weighted bat made for this purpose, even has bat handle with knob on the end. I see no other legal purpose for this item and for illegal purposes no one would buy one when a pipe or brick would do.

In the spirit of the rule, it is not a sledge hammer or some other such thing that creates more of a hazard. This is something designed as a weighted warm-up device that is decidedly bat-like.
I think I'll bring it up to the rules chairman, and I think I'll allow it until I hear otherwise, just like I did today. |
