Abstract

A system and method for positively identifying a sports bat to ensure the bat has not been tampered or otherwise altered after manufacture includes an RFID tag that is embedded in the bat during the manufacturing process. The RFID tag stores information related to the individual bat. In competition, the information stored in the embedded RFID tag is read using an RFID reading device. If a bat is modified or otherwise altered after manufacture, the RFID tag will be damaged or missing from the modified bat. In that case, the RFID reading device will be unable to properly read the RFID tag and the information stored on the tag, and the bat may be considered 'not approved for play.' In a similar fashion, the RFID tag may also be used to track and maintain inventory control, while ensuring the bat remains in the same condition as when it was manufactured.
