9/10 League Rules

  • Can pick up players, only if the team has less than 10 players. Players must be picked up from the 7/8 division. Pick up players cannot pitch. Regular roster players must be played before pick up players.
  • A maximum of 10 defensive players may be in the field as a time. We encourage coaches to rotate players positions throughout the season.
  • All players must be in the batting order.
  • Players are allowed to lead off or steal a base once the ball has crossed home plate.
  • 9/10 year olds will play on 60’ bases and 46’ mound.

Pitching Limits

Here is a chart of the required rest for pitchers from any games they play.

Once a pitcher is removed from the game, they are not allowed to re-enter the same game as a pitcher.

A maximum of 5 warm up pitches between innings will be allowed.

There will be no pitcher to catcher or catcher to pitcher position changes. If a player pitches or catches for any length of time, that player will not be allowed to play the opposite position for the remainder of that game.

Max Runs per half inning

A maximum of 6 runs may be scored per half inning. Once a team has scored 6 runs, the half inning is over. If a team has scored 5 runs in their half inning and they have 3 runners on base, and the batter hits a triple, only the first run will count (the 6th of the half inning,) and the inning will be immediately over. The 6-run rule is in effect for all innings. This is for competitiveness, development of players and batting opportunities.

Run Rule

If a team is ahead by 15 runs after 3 innings or 10 runs after 4 innings and the home team has had a chance to at bat, the GAME IS OVER. If the home team is ahead by the run rule, they will not bat.

No Stealing of Home Plate

Stealing of home plate due to a wild pitch or a passed ball is not allowed.
