If a bat has a little rattle will it be declared illegal?
NFHS:
Rule 1-5 Article 1...The bat shall:
c. Be free of rattles...
Illegal
Show me a HS umpire who legitimately checks bats for rattles before every game. Every HS umpire I’ve ever seen just shows up, calls the game, and leaves. The only equipment check comes DURING the games when there’s some question about legality or safety.

Prior to 2 years ago umpires were suppose to do pre game equipment inspections and at least here they were done prior to every game. 2 years ago NFHS did away with the inspections and now it is entirely on the coach to verify at the plate meeting that is team is legally a properly equipped.
