In Machine Pitch 7, players continue to learn more advanced rules of the game, which include a stronger emphasis on kids playing specific positions, though all kids are put on the field for defense with many kids in the outfield. When hitting, batters will hit off of a machine for up to 5 pitches and if unsuccessful, batters are required to hit from the tee. When a batter is out on the base paths, the batter is removed from the field, though no outs are recorded and no score is kept. Each teams bat the entire lineup each inning. There are no tryouts, and players are assigned to teams by the division’s commissioner with some consideration given to keeping friends together, please see your registration confirmation email for the link to make coach/friend requests.
*Player jersey number requests will be taken during registration. First come, first serve so register early!
