2026 gameplay references
Three leagues, one game.
Minor League
The Minor League is for 9–10-year-olds and uses live pitching. After four balls, the batter tosses the ball up and hits it. Some baserunning rules are also modified.
Major League
The Major League is for 11–12-year-olds and uses live pitching. Play is similar to traditional baseball, giving older players a chance to develop their hitting, fielding, and teamwork.
These short gameplay descriptions refer to the 2026 rulebooks. Final 2027 eligibility and rules are awaiting confirmation.
