NCAA still debating on bat changes

OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS--NCAA divisional championship governing bodies have reached different decisions on the issue of nonwood baseball bat standards for use in the Association's 1999 baseball championships.

The decision of the Division I cabinet differs from those made in December by the Divisions II and III Championships Committees.

Those committees had approved limiting use of bats in those championships to those that met the new specifications set for August 1999, including batted ball exit speed.

As a result of the differences among the three bodies, the NCAA Executive Committee will take up the issue.

The Division Championships/Competition Cabinet became the latest body to check in on the issue of which standards will be used. The cabinet determined that the specifications for bats for the 1999 championship would be limited to bats that do not exceed 2 5/8 inches in diameter and a unit differential between weight and length of three units (a 35-inch bat can weight no less than 32 ounces).

Not included in the specifications is the standard that would limit the exit speed of a batted ball to 93 miles per hour. That standard is one of three specifications scheduled to take effect in August 1999 for both regularseason and championship competition.

In November, the baseball committee had voted to recommend limiting use of bats in the championship to those meeting all the specifications approved for implementation in August 1999. The NCAA Executive Committee had approved the rule change recommendation forwarded by the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee but delayed implementation to the 1999-2000 season. - NCAA Public Information
