Q: What is 50/70 baseball?
During the ALL regular season, bases are set up 60 feet apart, and the pitcher’s mound is 46 feet away from home plate. In 50/70 baseball, the pitcher’s rubber is moved back to 50 feet from home plate, and the bases are now 70 feet apart. Players may now take leads and steal bases.
The purpose of 50/70 baseball is to ease the transition from the 46/60 diamond to the larger (60/90) diamond on which players play when they graduate from ALL.
See Little League International announcements on this topic.
Q. Who can participate?
ALL runs its 50/70 program for 11 and 12-year-olds in the spring, and for 12 and 13-year-olds in the fall.
Q. How do I sign up?
By registering for Majors, you are eligible for participation in the program, which will occur throughout the season. Practices will be held when Majors teams are not practicing, and games will take place on Sunday afternoons in May. Stay tuned for e-mails from our Transition Coordinator, Dave Anderson.
You may also contact our Transition Coordinator if you have further questions.
