Minor B is a competitive division for players ages 8-10. Minor B is our first division that features “kid pitch.” Hard baseballs are pitched from a 46 foot mound on a diamond with 60 foot base paths.
Minor B players are required to participate in evaluations which includes pitching from the mound and the teams are drafted by the division managers. If a player aged 8-9 years old is not selected to a Minor B team, they will be drafted to a team in MAP's division for further development.
Minor B focuses on continued development of baseball fundamentals including the introduction of pitching and base stealing. Teams change sides at 3 outs and 9 players play at a time in the field.
The Minor B division will feature 1 practice and 1 game per week for the first 2 months of the season to accelerate player development after which, you can expect 2 games per week. Since this is a competitive division, standings will be kept to determine seeding for a post-season tournament and city championship game.
