2025 Hot Stove Baseball Bat Rules

Hot Stove Baseball bat rules have changed for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

All bats that were legal in 2024 will be legal for 2025. In addition, for Classes I through F, any bat that has the USA Baseball stamp and has not been decertified, will be legal for use in 2025. Starting in 2026, only bats with the USA Baseball stamp will be legal for Hot Stove Baseball in Classes I, HH, H, G and F. There has been no change to the Class EE, E or Men's Class D bat rules.

If you wish to check to see if a bat is USA Baseball approved, please visit USA Bat and search for the bat in question. Please note that many bats have the same name however not every edition of the bat is legal! The best way to check is to obtain the Item Number and search the site.
