What is the consequence if a player is found using a bat that does not meet the BBCOR standards?

Using a bat that does not meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution) standards is a serious infraction in baseball due to safety and fairness concerns. When a player is found using such an illegal bat, the correct consequence is that the player is declared out and penalties are enforced. This action is taken to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure that all players are competing under the same rules, using equipment that is deemed safe and effective according to regulatory standards.

In this scenario, declaring the player out not only discourages the use of illegal equipment but also signifies that using such a bat gives an unfair advantage. Moreover, enforcing additional penalties can include further repercussions for the team or coaching staff, which underscores the importance of compliance with equipment regulations. The integrity of the sport is upheld when such rules are strictly enforced.
