Pitching Machine is a great league to help the kids develop the necessary batting skills without needing to worry about "balls and strikes". Pitches are always a consistent speed and in the strike zone, allowing the kids to develop confidence in the batters box. Age range is 7-8 years old in "baseball age". While this league is recomended for players 7-8 years, you can "move up" to the Pitching Machine division if a player is 6 years old as of August 31 AND has completed one year of tee ball. Please refer to the Little League age chart to determine your "baseball age".
