Clarity nothing but trouble. if it changes color at all bye bye. Blues love checking those bats because easy to check. not saying you rolled it.

My DD high school team had the same thing happen last week. The ump looked at the Easton and said the color changed and would not allow it for play.

People are spending 300 bucks on a bat - before we have umpires running around with binder paper disqualifying them because of that OKC break out session, which IMO is a gimmick and has 0 scientific basis for the lay bat inspector such as an umpire, we should have something in writing.

The clarity in general has been addressed by our region - in our UIC's opinion, there is no rule which would allow an umpire to disqualify the clarity over a changing color. Thats just our area, not sure about national office.

I hope this is addressed before nationals
