In conjunction with USA Baseball and its other participating national member organizations, PONY Baseball has adopted the USA Baseball bat standard (USABat).

As of Jan. 1, 2018, with the exception of -3 (BBCOR certified), all other minus factor bats (-5, -7, -9, etc.), must be YBBCOR certified with the USABat licensing stamp ("USA Baseball") on the bat in order to be used for league and tournament play. Minus factor bats -5, -7, -9, etc. used in 2017 are illegal to use in CSA and other PONY-affiliated leagues.
