Junior League Baseball

Junior League Baseball

Juniors

Junior League is considered more advanced and difficult than Little League due to more advanced rules, including the ability to lead-off and steal as the pitcher breaks, along with longer base paths and greater pitching distance. Junior League also includes the use of 25/8-inch barrels rather than the transitional 21/4-inch barrels of Little League. Junior League also allows the use of metal spikes in cleats in addition to the molded or plastic spikes used in Little League.

Catcher

The catcher in the Juniors is required to wear a helmet with a mask to cover his or her face and head, along with a chest protector to protect their sternum, chest and stomach. They also require shin guards to protect their knees and shins from foul balls and pitches that hit the dirt, and a catcher's mitt.

Field

Junior League fields include outfields that range in size between 250 and 330 feet. The base paths and distance between pitching mound and hitter are the same as in professional baseball.
