What action should the BCT testing manager take if a bat is found not on the NCAA Approved Bat List?

When a bat is found not on the NCAA Approved Bat List, removing it from play immediately is the correct action. This is vital to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure that all equipment complies with NCAA regulations. Non-compliant bats can provide an unfair advantage or pose safety risks to players, which is why strict adherence to the approved list is enforced.

By removing the bat from play, the testing manager upholds the standards of the sport and ensures that all participating teams are competing fairly under the same equipment guidelines. This action prevents any potential disruptions during the game and reinforces the importance of using certified equipment.
