Little League adds 50/70 baseball option

On January 11th, Little League International announced the creation of a new baseball division that will feature a 50 foot pitchers mound (vs. current 46 feet) and 70 foot bases (vs. current 60).  Players that are age 12 and 13 are eligible to participate in this division, and may participate in both the traditional majors division (46/60 for 11 and 12 year olds) and the senior division (60/90 for 13 and 14 year olds).

This new division will feature leading, drop third strikes, big barrel bats, etc. and is meant to help players transition from the traditional Little League field to the professional-sized basebal field used by high school, senior league and middle school teams.

The board of directors of Bordentown Little League is looking into how to implement this new division for the 2010 season. More information will come to those players that are 12 years old this year, and those that were 12 years old last year.

Below is a link to the press release.
