The Major League is our highest and most competitive level of play. All 11 and 12 year olds are eligible to play in the Major League (SPACE PERMITTING). Major League is played with a pitching distance of 50 feet and base paths of 70 feet (50/70). 11 year olds who plan to tryout for spring Major League are encouraged to play in the fall season.
In addition to the larger field dimensions in Major League, other rule differences include:
Runners may lead off (requiring pitchers to hold runners on base).
Runners may attempt stealing at any time.
Pitchers can execute pick-offs and balks will be called.
Headfirst slides are permitted (as long as the base runner is not wearing a cage on his/her helmet).
A batter may advance to first on a dropped third strike under certain circumstances.
