In honor of Giant Matt Cain’s perfect game, we review ASTM Standards on Baseball!

Yes, I’m happy to say I was watching the game last night between the SF Giants and the Houston Astro’s and had the pleasure of watching the Giant’s first perfect game!  Matt Cain, our pitcher, was stellar and both SF offense and defense was there for him every step of the way.  Well, such a performance can’t go unnoticed, so to follow up on the excitement, we review U.S. baseball standards available from Document Center Inc.  And that means that we’re looking at the following ASTM offerings:

ASTM F910, “Standard Specification for Face Guards for Youth Baseball”

ASTM F1881, “Standard Test Method for Measuring Baseball Bat Performance Factor”

ASTM F1887, “Standard Test Method for Measuring the Coefficient of Restitution (COR) of Baseballs and Softballs”

ASTM F1888, “Test Method for Compression-Displacement of Baseballs and Softballs”

ASTM F2000, “Standard Guide for Fences for Baseball and Softball Fields”

ASTM F2107, “Standard Guide for Construction and Maintenance of Skinned Areas on Baseball and Softball Fields”

ASTM F2398, “Standard Test Method for Measuring Moment of Inertia and Center of Percussion of a Baseball or Softball Bat”

ASTM F2844, “Standard Test Method for Displacement Compression of Softball and Baseball Bat Barrels”

ASTM F2845, “Standard Test Method for Measuring the Dynamic Stiffness (DS) and Cylindrical Coefficient of Restitution (CCOR) of Baseballs and Softballs”
