It's not nonsense.
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.

Little league requires USA stamp - this is USSSA bat,so yes, it's illegal to use it. USSSA bats have way more exit velo than USA bat and not safe for little league kids. little league needs to have USA stamp and 2 5/8" barrel max.

For 90% of kids, you're better off spending $100 on good lessons, and $30 on a lightly used bat on facebook market.

New 8u coach/Dad here. Can anyone suggest a solid USA bat that I should invest in?

Awesome bat; we paid over $300, over two years ago. My son got a 31/23 Cat 9 Connect Pastime over two years ago for his 10th birthday, and had 21 home runs in various fields over this time. He switched to a CatX composite 32/27 about 6 months ago which he uses for 12U tournaments, and swings a 33/30 BBCOR or 33" Maple for 13-14U tournaments or middle school games. When we took him last year to train in the D.R., the boys there were going crazy with the Cat9.

These are the Connect versions. These aren't as good as the Composite. I'm not saying they are bad but there is a reason they are still available.

Louisville Solo is a solid bat and can be found sub $100. Don't be afraid to get something a little bigger. I got my son 31" -10 or -9 IIRC. It was big and heavy for him at first, but mid way thru the first season he developed the strength 😆 but with that size he can keep using until 12 or so.

Not great. These composite bats aren't known for their longevity, so maybe one or two good contacts before it breaks

Probably overkill in terms of price. You can pick up something on Amazon for sub $30 that will do the job. This this is a HR bat, you only need singles when it comes to hitting burglars.

This right here. bought 2019 solos from justbats dot com for my youngest.

28" and 29" last couple of years. Good USA bats.
