2009 Fall Baseball Rules

Beverly Little League has adopted the following rules for the 2009 Fall Baseball League: 

  • Managers are encouraged to have players have an opportunity to play all positions as long as they can do so safely. 
  • Stealing is allowed for all bases, including home.
  • At a four run lead, stealing stops.
  • There is no 10 run rule due to the 9 inning game. 
  • Pitching is limited to two innings.  Pitch counts should not be necessary - but if a pitcher will be going to play catcher, then the pitch limit is 40 pitches.   Otherwise, pitchers and catchers may play both positions during the game. 
  • No player should sit more than one inning at a time.
  • Continuous batting order.  Late arrivals are allowed - they will be added to the bottom of the batting order. 
  • If a team does not have 9 players, the other side should provide outfield positions to allow the game to be played.
  • One base coach should be coached by a player, one by a coach.
  • The games will be officiated by the Minor League umpires.
  • All other Beverly Little League rules apply.
