Bat Requirements
As of 2020, wood bats are now optional at the 15U and 18U levels. As per Baseball Manitoba: On Sunday, November 3, 2019 at the Semi-Annual General Meeting in Brandon the Board of Director’s of Baseball Manitoba Ratified a Motion that will allow the use of BBCOR Certified Metal Bats at 15U AAA and 18U (all categories, A, AA and AAA) in competition in 2020. Baseball Manitoba believes that Wood bats should still be used as a training aid and/or in competition, if the batter’s skill level allows. Baseball Manitoba’s 15U, 16U and 17U Male Provincial Team Programs will continue to promote the use of Wood bats, as the National and WCBA events will be played with wood bats and these players are striving to compete for Baseball Canada’s National Team.
