Are wood bats still allowed?

Yes. Solid, one piece wood bats are approved for use under USABat with or without the USA Baseball Certification Mark.  Multi-piece and composite wood bats must feature the USA Baseball Certification Mark to be approved for play.  Bats made of multiple pieces of wood, sawdust, or including man-made materials, are considered composite wood bats.
