Sports Authority Reminds Athletes to Switch To BBCOR Baseball Bats to Meet New Performance Standards
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sports Authority, the nation’s premier full-line sporting goods retailer, is reminding consumers that Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) baseball bats are now mandatory for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). As of January 1, 2012, BBCOR certification is the new standard for measuring bat performance, and approved bats can be found at all 464 Sports Authority locations nationwide. Sports Authority offers the best variety of BBCOR bats from Easton, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger and Rawlings, priced from $39.99 to $369.99.
All high school aluminum and composite barrels with -3 drop weights must meet BBCOR certification standards and display an official BBCOR logo. BBCOR is about bringing integrity and competitiveness back to baseball, and the new regulation is intended to reduce the “trampoline” effect in aluminum and composite bats. BESR-approved high school bats are no longer legal for NCAA and NFHS play.
Sports Authority has one of the largest selections of BBCOR-certified bats in the country which will help maximize performance and safety on the baseball field.
