Rule Changes for 2013

At our February board meeting, LTA Baseball addressed some issues coaches, parents and players have been asking us to address for some time (weekday travel, pitching rules and Senior Division age limit).  To that end, I'm proud to report our board of directors and commissioners have approved 3 rule changes for 2013.   Read More on Rule Changes......

 Age limit in the Senior Division has been raised

Beginning in 2013, the age limit in the Senior division is now 21 years of age.  Each team will be limited to 5 players, in any age combination, of age 20 or 21.  Again, this is limited to 5 roster spots.  This means you'll will have a minimum of 15 open roster positions for players ages 17, 18 and 19.    Read More on Rule Changes.....

Schedule is changing to 1 game during the week and 2 games on the weekends

Beginning in 2013, A, B and C divisions will play one game during the week and 2 games on the weekend. Seniors play dates TBD. Weekday travel has been an increasing issue for coaches, parents and players trying to navigate through rush hour traffic make a 5:45 or 5:30 game.  Plus, since many players work in the week, this should help alleviate some of those pressures of trying to get off work to play.  Finally, this also will allow friends and parents an easier time to attend these games.   Read More on Rule Changes.....

A and B divisions will follow a modified Babe Ruth tournament pitching rule for the Tournament of Champions

Following the conclusion of the regular season, the top 8 teams of the the A and B divisions play the Tournament of Champions (TOC) during the second week of August. During the TOC week of the "Super 8", the pitching rules will revert to the Babe Ruth tournament pitching rule which states, "...no player may pitch more than 7 innings in two consecutive games."  Further, a pitcher may only pitch a maximum of seven (7) innings in any one (1) calendar day during the Tournament of Champions.  During the regular season, the pitching rules of 10 innings per week and no more than 7 per game still apply as well as the current rest rules.    Read More on Rule Changes.....

Our board of directors and commissioners are excited about these rule changes and we hope you as players, parents and coaches feel this way as well.  If you have any questions regarding these rule changes, please feel free to email or call me at anytime.

Joe Rushing, President
