2023 Macomb Little League
Coach Pitch League Rules
This is an instructional league meant to introduce kids to the game of baseball.
No Score will be kept
All players that are present at the game will bat each half inning. The order should be switched up each inning so that the same people are not always batting first or last.
Each time the ball is put in play the runners will advance one base. When the last batter of the inning is up and puts the ball in play all runners on base will round the bases to score (Home Run).
There will be no outs recorded but the defense is encouraged to attempt to record an out. (Outs may be recorded after the halfway point of the season at the discretion of the MLLA Board. All players would still bat each inning but the player who is out would vacate the bases.)
Each batter will receive three pitches from a coach. If the batter misses those three pitches a tee will be inserted for the player to use. If a player fouls off the third pitch, he or she may be given an extra pitch. If the coach makes a bad pitch the batter may also be given an extra pitch at the coaches discretion.
The coach may throw overhand or underhand at any distance and may also be on a knee to throw.
Games will be 60 minutes or until each team has batted through at least twice.
