OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, Monday, December 5, 2005 — The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA), the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, today announced that the fast pitch softball bat model FPC305 Catalyst manufactured by the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., Inc. (DBA Louisville Slugger) is no longer authorized for use in ASA Championship Play.
Other governing bodies that currently use ASA’s bat performance standards such as the NCAA, NFHS, NAIA, NJCAA will continue to use the ASA’s non approved bat list and restrict such bats in 2006 and beyond.
“We are disappointed with the situation but understand that our contract with the ASA requires a bat to be placed on the ASA Non Approved list no matter how little it is found out of compliance”, said Marty Archer, President of the Louisville Slugger Baseball/Softball division. “We acknowledge full responsibility for this situation. Please visit our website, www.slugger.com, to learn more about our efforts to deal with this situation.”
