Little Majors Information

We use pitching machines for this age group for the following reasons:

1.  It gives all the players the maximum opportunity to bat, field, throw, and run the bases, not just two or three on a team.

2.  Games move along much faster thereby allowing for more innings played and therefore more opportunities for each player.

3.  It saves the arms of pitchers until they are older.  Coaches have often been known to teach this age player to throw curve balls, etc., which can prove to be harmful to them later on.

4.  Most all players quickly learn to hit the machine pitched ball and develop confidence that they will not be hit.  This success encourages success in other areas as well.

Due to the fact that we use a pitching machine in our Little Majors League age program, we will not likely participate with other leagues in post-program games.
