2 5/8" barrel bats are legal in all divisions of PONY Baseball. If 2 5/8" bat is a -3 (i.e 33 inches and 30 oz, basically a high school size bat), it must be BBCOR certified (stamped on the bat). 

All other 2 5/8" barrel bats are legal.  (Currently there is no testing protocol for -5, -7, -9, etc bats, therefore Pony recognizes them as legal this year)

2 1/4" bats are legal in all Pony Baseball.  They must have a Bat Performance Factor (BPF) of 1.15 or less stamped on the bat.  In addition the bat must be stamped "approved for play in PONY Baseball"

Note: 2 3/4" Barrel bats are illegal

Please keep in mind that PONY has adopted these rules for 2012 and will review for the 2013 season. 

The DeWitt Youth Baseball and Softball Association board has approved $8,000 in field improvements for the 12U Schavey North field. Work is scheduled to begin this spring. Plans call for the old backstop to be removed and a new backstop built in its place just northeast of the current location. The new placement will allow for the eventual construction of permanent dugouts. Sightlines and seating for speactators will be improved. The completely rebuilt 12U softball field at Schavey is expected to be completed by mid-April in order to host softball games beginning in May.

Donate to the completion of the 12U Softball field.
