Minor League (10U) baseball is a fun team game, played within the Auckland Baseball Association league under Little League rules. It is a first experience of “real baseball” on a 60ft diamond – players have their first opportunity to do all the things MLB stars do like pitch, catch and hit home runs. At the same time, it is non-competitive to encourage equal participation and promote enjoyment of the game whilst developing the necessary skills.
