GREENVILLE LITTLE LEAGUES MINOR LEAGUE RULE MODIFICATIONS

1. All teams must bat their full roster.  There is no penalty for playing short.  Players arriving after the game has begun must be placed at the end of the batting order.
2. Five runs or three outs will constitute ½ inning.
3. A team must start and finish with at least 7 players.
4. There will be no catcher.  The defensive team should station a coach behind home plate near the backstop but in most cases it should be expected that the pitcher will have to cover home.
5. Each batter will get 5 pitches.  If the umpire deems a pitch to be unhittable then it will not count towards the 5 pitch count.  If the fifth pitch or any subsequent pitch is fouled off then the batter may continue to hit until the ball is put in play.  Strikes (swinging or called) will not be called.  Hit batters will be allowed to go to first, provided he/she tried to get out of the way (normal baseball rule).
6. The speed of the machine will be set at the beginning of the game and should remain constant throughout the game.  An offensive team coach shall be responsible for feeding balls into the machine.
7. The machine will be set approximately 8-10 feet in front of the mound on a level surface.
8. A batted ball striking the net in front of the machine, will remain alive and be treated the same as if it hit a defensive player. A ball hitting the net in front of the machine will be considered a fair ball even if it rebounds into foul territory.   A batted ball hitting the machine or the person feeding the machine will result in a dead ball, one base award for the batter, and a one base award for any base runners forced to advance.
9. Any thrown ball striking the machine or the person feeding the machine will be declared dead and the runners will be awarded bases as if the ball was thrown into a dead area.
10. The pitcher must be positioned behind an imaginary line between first and third base.
11. No stealing or advancing on wild pitches/ passed balls.  Any runner who leaves before the ball has reached the batter early or attempts to steal will be penalized according to the Little League rule for a runner leaving early.
12. The umpire shall call “time” when the play is over and the play has reached a natural conclusion
13. The game length is six innings or may be declared official after three innings have been played if inclement weather or darkness intervenes.  A tie game may continue until a winner is determined.
14. The above rules are modifications to the Little League Baseball rules.  Anything not covered above is covered in the Little League Baseball rule book.
15. Teams will be limited to a maximum of 3 warmup pitches each half inning.  If the machine is having issues the umpire has the authority to allow more but if in the umpire’s judgment the machine is throwing the ball properly there will be only a maximum of 3 warmups per inning.

UNUSUAL LITTLE LEAGUE RULES

1. Only four coaches are permitted in the confines of the field, dugout, and bullpen areas.
2. There is no on deck batters permitted.
3. A runner is not permitted to slide head first into a base while advancing.  A runner may return to a base head first.
4. Each player must play a minimum of two innings defensively.  Managers may freely substitute players in and out of the field (alternating two players and allowing them to each play every other inning is acceptable).

***Parents and Coaches please be reminded that on rainy days or days with inclement weather Greenville Little Leagues will try to get games in if at all possible.  If Greenville Little Leagues decides to postpone games there will be a notice put on the home page of this website.  We will also contact each manager who is involved with the postponement directly.  If you get a text or an e-mail from Greenville Recreation & Parks Department (GRPD) indicating their programs have been postponed (usually Greenie League games) this does not mean that Greenville Little Leagues games are postponed. Greenville Little Leagues is a separate organization from GRPD and Greenville Little Leagues makes the call on whether Greenville Little Leagues games will be played.  Thank You.***
