the age bracket is 10-12, but some turn 13 by the time they're in williamsport.
regardless, even if they're 12, they're still too old to be playing on those 9 yr old dimensions.

Hit a decent fly ball? Home run!

It's the best feeling ever! We had a homerun derby contest at our state championships in Iowa. The winner hit like 30.  I hit 4.

4 dongs is still p impressive, wax.

yep, those are the dimensions of the 10 and under Cal Ripken league down here. My son and I like watching it, but he laughs when he see's 11, 12, 13 year olds playing on those tiny fields (he just turned 14).  Anyway's, mo'ne did not do so well last night.....

just another post-PED flame out

I can't believe all the butthurt about field dimensons for a bunch of kids. Pitching dominates at that age anyways. If you were a decent pitcher and not ending a game with over 12 K's at that age, you were doing it wrong. There's still a small amount of HR's at that age, cause it's so hard to hit.

sorry to bust your LLWS memories.
pitching dominates even more when you're 5 feet closer to the batter than you should be.

Well, yeah, the apparent 5-10 mph increase because of the difference in mound distance from LLWS to normal youth league has a bit to do with that.

[pissclams]

did you guys know i can throw a 100 mph fast ball? 

2 feet.

I felt like I was in the show, bud.  Hotel rooms, all the pop you could drink for FREE, and candy! Lots and lots of candy!

Children should not be throwing breaking balls.

Knuckle Curveballs are safe at that age.
