Important Information for 7th/8th Grade Players and Parents
The 7th and 8th grade Wyoming Area baseball team will be limited this year to a total of 28 players. 42 7th and 8th graders have signed up for baseball. There will be a baseball skills assessment (tryout) scheduled for early March. READ MORE ABOUT TRYOUT HERE
2012 BASEBALL BATS: Non-wood baseball bats used for 2012 must have the "BBCOR" certification marking stamped on the bat. A typical bat might have a marking that says "BBCOR 0.5, (-3)." The (-3) is the difference between length and weight of the bat. For example, a popular bat for a 13 year-old might be 31 inchs/28 ounces. As players grow, they can handle longer/heavier (-3) bats. This new "BBCOR" standard has been instituted to make non-wooden bats, perform more like wooden bats. Reports show that there will be less "pop" in BBCOR bats then there were in BESR-certified bats used in 2011 and before.
Again, umpires at all levels of high school will be looking for "BBCOR" to be visible on the bat.
