Also 14 year old pitcher regularly throw over 55 mph which on a Little League Field is VERY fast
He is right. At age 14, from a little league distance it would be very dangerous. (They actually have two different distances, high school is the same distance but Seniors isn't.)
The hitters are also better in the bigs.
Like for me, at 13 years old I throw 72, from a little league distance that could injure a kid.
At 13 I was 4-10 80lbs., but some friends were 6-4 255, poney league bases were 75' This was a lot of fun!
60 feet 6 inches like the MLB
The minor league uses the same distances as the MLB. So the pitchers mound is exactly 60ft 6" away from homeplate
A2 + B2 = C2 would be 902 + 902 = 16,200. Square of 16,200 would be 127.28'
46 feet
typically 45 feet
For softball here is the distance for all age levels from themound to the plate. Ages 7-9: 30 feet Ages 10-12: 35 feet Ages 13- Highschool: 40 feet College level pitchers: 43 feet Men's League Fast Pitch is 46 feet
46 feet.
36 feet --------------------------------------- WRONG! The distance from the front edge of the pitcher's plate to the pint of home plate for Little League is 46'0". This is straight from the Little League rule book.
The distance from the pitching rubber to the back tip of home plate in professional, college and high school baseball is 60 ft. 6 in. In some leagues 13-14 will pitch from that same distance, but in some they will throw from 54 ft. as a transition from little league to high school. I would check with your rules for your league and work from there.
pitchers mound - home plate= 46 feet distance between bases=60 feet fence =about 200 feet
The probable pitchers for the upcoming Major League Baseball games have not been officially announced yet.
No. Both leagues use the same rules on everything except for the DH (Designated Hitter). The AL uses a DH, the NL does not. Pitchers mound to home plate is 60 feet 6 inches in both leagues.
