04/08/24 – Initial RPI Rankings Released for Baseball and Softball
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 8, 2024
The first official KHSAA Ratings Percentage Index rankings for the 2024 baseball and softball season have been posted.
Initial RPI rankings can be found through the links below:
RPI Background
RPI is a tool developed for all team sports using the official KHSAA/Riherds Scoreboard data, modeled after, but not identical to, similar measurement tools. It is provided for a variety of reasons, including district tiebreaking and football bracketing, and as a means to increase publicity, interest and promotion of interscholastic athletics. RPI is also used as a tiebreaking/contest-result mechanism to decide seeded district games that are not played by the deadline. RPI rankings are updated on an hourly basis but are not calculated for teams with missing scores from the previous day. Therefore, it is essential for results to remain comprehensive for accuracy.

03/21/24 – NFHS Bat Compliance Update Warstic Bonesaber-3 Baseball Bat
The KHSAA received the following from the NFHS office regarding the Warstic Bonesaber-3 Baseball Bat.
FOLLOW-UP CLARIFICATION FROM THE NFHS TO THE BELOW POST
For clarification, the Warstic Bonesaber -3 non-wood baseball bat with the factory handle wrapping is compliant. However, please emphasize to your schools and umpires that the Warstic Bonesaber -3 baseball bat is a compliant non-wood baseball bat for high school varsity competition with factory handle wrapping.
Any baseball bat (wood or non-wood) from any bat manufacturer with a traditional or non-traditional knob is at risk of being rendered non-compliant when it is rewrapped in a manner that the wrapping is over the knob making the knob flush (level with) the handle. A simple solution to correct the non-compliant wrapped bat is to remove the existing wrapping and rewrap the handle.
The image of the red-wrapped bat below is an illegal bat because it was rewrapped
incorrectly. That wrapping eliminates the […]
