1st-2nd Grade : Machine Pitch

MGSA's in house league for first and second graders is now "Machine Pitch". Coaches use a spring-loaded machine to deliver pitches in a relatively straight manner to a relatively consistent place over home plate. (At least that's the plan!)

This league uses yellow soft softballs, slightly larger than baseballs. They are perfectly sized for little hands, nice for young girls to hit, and soft enough to cushion if they end up hitting anyone.

Still the emphasis is on basics, hitting, catching and throwing. Girls will start to learn where to throw the ball in the field.

The Machine Pitch league plays games on Thursday nights at Bennett Family Park and Sunday early afternoons at Legacy Fields, at the Minnetonka High School.
