Youth Kid Pitch Baseball for Ages 9–10 in Marietta

The mound belongs to the players now.

The Minor division is a big step: players pitch to each other. That brings walks, strikeouts, stolen bases and real strategy — and a lot of growth in responsibility, focus and sportsmanship.

Season expectations

What parents can expect in Minor

  • An evaluation day before the draft (Fall 2026: August 1).
  • Usually one weeknight practice set by the coach.
  • Mostly Saturday games with a few midweek games.
  • Team cap and jersey included. Family provides glove, cleats and baseball pants.

Minor is kid pitch. Pitching limits and game rules are set by the league each season — refer to current Crossbar rules.

Age ranges are guidance. Divisions are set by age on a season cutoff date, which has not been published for Spring 2027 yet (Fall 2026 used April 30, 2027).

Questions

Minor division FAQ

Does my 9-year-old have to pitch?
Coaches decide positions. Not every player pitches, and players get to develop at different positions.
Are there pitch-count rules?
Pitching rules are set by the league for each season. Ask your coach or check current rules on Crossbar.
Is the Minor division competitive?
Games are competitive, but the program’s stated approach is competition without a “win at all costs” mentality.
