What changed, and when · 4 revisions on record

Recorded from September 2026. Earlier revisions exist, but what changed on them was never written down, so they are left out rather than guessed at.

  1. October 1, 2026

    • A bat marked “Tee Ball” is not legal in Coach Pitch, Minors or Majors, even when it carries the USA stamp. The USA Baseball Tee Ball stamp certifies a bat for tee ball only, so the stamp alone does not make a bat legal. Umpires will remove it from play.

  2. September 16, 2026

    • A call-up plays outfield only and bats last, in every season and in the postseason. Softball’s rules had carried this all along; baseball’s had never stated it.

  3. September 14, 2026

    • Removed the Fall 2025 13U pitching clause, which had expired.

  4. September 9, 2026

    • GameChanger is named the official scorebook in every division, with what each division is expected to record. Pee Wee needs only the final score.
