I hope everyone had a good Semana Santa and are ready for Madrid League Baseball action again. We're going to raise the bar a touch in the ongoing effort to increase our skill level at the game. Here are few changes you may notice:
- Coach Pitch: We're going to try and maintain clear definition between infield players and outfield players. Firm 7 pitch count limit per batter. Coaches physically helping by pushing, stopping, carrying, or enhancing the baserunners movements will not be allowed.
- Machine Pitch: Runners will be allowed to advance on balls that get past the catcher, including the batter on a missed 3rd strike. 5 pitches or 3 swinging strikes (whichever comes first) per batter. Increased pitch velocity. And as above no physically assisting base runners.
- Senior: There will be leading and stealing allowed starting with this week's games.
And with that, here's the schedule for this week:
10:00 Tee Ball Braves vs Angels
10:00 Coach Pitch Yankees vs Blue Jays
11:00 Coach Pitch Orioles vs Reds
12:30 Coach Pitch Mets vs Mariners
14:00 Machine Pitch Rockies vs Rangers
15:30 Machine Pitch Marlins vs Nationals
17:00 Senior Kid Pitch Diamondbacks vs Padres
Please remember if it has been raining a lot prior to Saturday or on Saturday morning, please check with your coaches. I will try and have a yes or no by 9:15 for the early games. Hopefully this won't be the case though and I'll see you all Saturday....
