Grasshopper and Rookieball

Grasshopper - Players ages 7 or 8 by end of the year

Grasshopper is an introduction to the pitched ball using a pitching machine set at 32 mph.

This division is played like real baseball with three outs per side per inning (except for the first few games) with a few differences.  A regulation game consists of six innings. There are a maximum number of runs per inning in effect and the entire team is in the batting rotation.  Finally, there is no stealing and runners are limited to a single base unless a ball is hit cleanly into the outfield in which case the runners can attempt to advance two bases.
