is this believable

Would any of you call out the 2019 being used in a USA tourney?

Yes of course. It’s not a legal bat. Need to use the 18 Blue Ghost for ASA/USA tourney. We can thank Easton for the confusion of making two different Ghost bats. Other than the Ghosts and the 19 Demarini Prism I believe they are the only mass produced bats that you can’t use for all tournaments.

Im not sure if Monsta's fp bat had all stamps...think it may have only been ASA as well...and I know their new one
will only be ASA legal.

In the fp world, those are the only 3 bats...in slowpitch...most are NOT dual stamped.

Question is, do you call it out when you notice it, or wait until the opposing team hits a bomb with it then call it out?

I call it out when she does something. She could do nothing until the last AB and it's my ace in my back pocket the rest of the game if I need it.

What is the rule for USA on illegal bat usage?

When you notice it. Then you don’t need to worry about the results.

I’ve called out many of bats the past few years in USSSA, and most fall on deaf ears with the umpires...The latest one was a CF4 and a SCN2b (which isn’t legal in ANY association). I just find it absolutely hilarious when I go to the pregame meeting at home plate, and the only bat even discussed is the Ghost (“is everyone using the correct Ghost”) ummmm how about just saying, does all of your bats have a USSSA thumbprint on it. When I questioned the above mentioned CF4, the umpire looked at me and said are your seriously going to question a bat. I said it doesn’t have the thumbprint. He grabbed the bat and found the old USSSA stamp and said it reads USSSA 1.20bpf right here. I just started laughing and let it be done

Not familiar with Monsta bats. Are they a small manufacturer or a subsidiary of one of the Big Boys?

 

[The Man In Blue]

When would the offense/ejection happen for an illegal bat? When she steps onto field, into the batters box, takes a pitch, finishes the at-bat?

Depends on the rule set.
