Thre adding 2 5/8 bats with 1.5 bpf

Great idea, badly implemented. Should leave 13s in juniors, or allow 13s during the regular season, but not allowed for tournament. Tournament play is going to be a joke, only teams with all 13s will move on to the WS. Most leagues will have their 13s play in 50/70 which will kill the juniors, I don't understand the thought process of have 13s play in 50/70 one year against 11 and 12s, and then turn around the next year and play high school ball with 15-16s. Terrible Idea!

No mention of USA Baseball and LL looking into the unregulated 2 5/8" metal bats.

This would be a great division for a wood bat league. It would give all those 200' fence fields a chance to participate. It would also be a lot safer. And, it would be cool, leading edge, and get traction very quickly.

No other organization puts 13 year olds on the 50/70 field. Gotta change the bats, fellas.
