Yes, certain bats are. If they are metal, they must be BBCOR certified. If they aren't, then it's illegal. However, any size of wooden bat is legal for play

The drop of the bat is the difference between the length minus the weight. For example, if a bat is 33" long and it weighs 30 ounces, then the drop is -3. The drop of the bat varies in baseball, depending on the level of play. Little League doesn't have any regulations for the drop zone. Senior League baseball (ages 10 - 14) has a drop zone regulation of no lighter than -8. High school baseball has a drop zone regulation of no lighter than -3. College baseball has a drop zone regulation of no lighter than -3.

Bat differential is the length to weight comparison of a bat. It's usually shown as a negative number and can also be called a "drop". For example, a bat that is 33 inches long and weighs 30 ounces has a differential of (-3). Rules for legal bat differentials vary by league, but typically senior leagues and little leagues allow larger differentials.
that is a rule the commissioner of your league can undo. its called the cant cut list. ask the commissioner of the league if they can get rid of it
