Our Mustang League is the youngest player pitch program and is designed for nine and ten year olds. Eight year old players that are ready to move up from coach-pitch are also eligible, at the discretion of their parent/guardian. Each inning consists of three outs and is limited to a five run rule, which is instituted to control the tempo of the game. The base path is set at 60 feet with the pitcher’s mound set at 46 feet. In the Mustang League, stealing is allowed.
