BHM mentioned in a previous thread that the rejects bats players send back go into the BPAS rack.

Now i'm really curious as to what this acronym stands for.

Most the time they're put into our BPAS racks. Maggilo sent back a dozen that were too light. So we put them in the racks for the Minor League players to pick out when they come to the factory. Others bats are used in our promotion/charity rack depending on who it is. Pujols had sent back some bats a year or so ago and one of my employees is a big St. Louis fan so I gave one of them to him.

If the bat is sent back for "bad wood" or something along those lines I'll conduct tests on them to see if they're really bad or not. It usually involves cutting them up.

Dave....good point

I think it stands for Ball Player Assorted Selection
I saw Nick Green of the SWB Yankees use a 2-tone model which cracked during his first at bat last night at Coca-Cola Park while playing against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs He subsequently switched to a burgundy colored Marucci
Incidentally my son scored Alberto Gonzalez's black Rawlings which he cracked during his first at-bat. Gonzalez signed it for him after the game
