Pitching distance for Little League is 46' and you can have prepubescent boys playing against boys like my son @ 12 who had hit puberty and was close to 6' tall.
The exit velos can put kids at a safety risk.
Different rules, different leagues for a reason.
I watched a boy last year have his facial bones shattered by taking a ball in the face. He shouldn't have been playing at that level, but the program wasn't turning down the $ and the parents were not realistic about his abilities and the risks.
USSSA bats have much higher exit velocities (trampoline effect). You can watch the batbros on YouTube to see the comparison.
USA & BBCOR bats are regulated to be similar to wood bats, thus much safer for certain levels of play.
If my son was pitching in 6th grade against an 8th grader who stayed back a year and had a mustache you better believe I wanted to see the BBCOR logo on the bat.

During tournament play an opposing coach called "bat check" on my son.
I don't believe these Cat bats have the USA logo.
My son was called out and wasn't allowed to use this bat again.
Other parents started frowning on me as they believed I knew I was cheating.

This can be confusing for new baseball parents, surprised his coach didn't catch it before the other one did.

Warrantied a Marruci composite -10 bat last season, and they emailed me asking if I wanted a past time -8. I got it.
Son (11u last year) loved it (30/22) but it did shatter after about 7 months.

If you are really good at baseball you can maybe hit the bullet back, but you can find cheaper protection bats. Not sure if you are hitting spiders or wasps with it either.
