Note: If a player uses an illegal bat during play, a dead ball will be called and the batter will be called out. If after a play is completed, the bat is found to be illegal, the batter is out and the base runners will return to where they previously were. The opposing team would have until the next pitch is thrown to make a claim of an illegal bat.
