Little League Tournament and Regular Season Pitching Rules Made the Same by Adoption of New Rule
Recent rule changes adopted by the Little League International Board of Directors will bring pitching rules for tournament baseball in line with the regular season rules. The changes were made after many district administrators and local Little League volunteers had requested the pitching rules become more consistent.
“A few years ago, scientific studies showed epidemic increases in youth pitching injuries and pointed to overuse as the primary factor,” Dr. James Andrews, Chairman of the American Sports Medicine Institute and a member of the Little League International Board of Directors, said. “Little League baseball should be congratulated as the leader in addressing this issue by introducing pitch count limits. This has led to increased awareness at all levels including players, parents, coaches, and other youth league organizations, and hopefully, a decrease in number of injuries. The current changes adopted by Little League should help further the ability of kids to enjoy and advance in baseball without serious overuse injuries.”Read More

Little League International, MVP Band Complete Licensing Agreement
Little League International has established a multi-year licensing agreement with the MVP Band - a resistance training device that strengthens players’ arms. The unique neoprene wristband of the MVP Band sets it apart from other resistance bands by focusing on building the muscles that comprise the rotator cuff, while reinforcing proper arm angles and mechanics. Rotator cuff injuries are widespread among both youth and adult baseball and softball players, and studies attribute the cause to both overuse and improper throwing mechanics. In 2008, Little League Baseball and Softball incorporated the program into its summer baseball camps in Williamsport, Pa., and gained praise from camp officials and Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball. Read More
