What does BBCOR stand for and what is it?
BBCOR stands for "Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution.” This BBCOR standard controls the amount of energy lost when the player makes contact with the bat on the baseball. This is to control the "Trampoline Effect" that bats used to have. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) based in the USA have decided that the maximum "Trampoline Effect" of a BBCOR bat will be 0.50.
