Junior Babe Ruth

Junior Babe Ruth is an organized baseball program for our 13-15-year-old ballplayers.  Following most high school rules, Junior Babe Ruth is structured in the following manner:

• Practices begin in mid-May and games begin in late May
• Games will be played at OYO and other local sites, as needed
• Teams receive a 10-game-schedule
• Teams participate in a double-elimination tournament in late June/early July
• Games are scheduled for seven innings or 2 hours, whichever comes first
• Players pitch from a 60’ pitcher’s mound and basepaths are 90’ long.
• Other Junior Babe Ruth league game-specific rules are available at link
• OYO provides hat, socks, team, and team jersey.  Players are responsible for baseball pants, cleats (metal spikes are permitted) and their own baseball glove.  Additional equipment (e.g. helmets, bats, etc.) is optional for players to provide as the team equipment bag will contain these items.
