Big League is for players who are aged between 15 and 18 by the 31st August 2020 however the team usually consists of players aged 16 to 18 years due to the increased pitching and base distances compared to LL.

In season training TBA,weekday afternoons from 4:30pm till 6pm at Lakelands Oval.

Big League is essentially the old U19 age group and plays with the following dimensions:

• The game is played on a full-sized 90ft diamond just like seniors)
• Pitching distance is 60ft just like seniors
• Runners can lead off bases and may attempt to steal at any time
• An ondeck batter is permitted 
• There are still restrictions on the number of pitches a Pitcher can throw in any one game and is still age dependent.
• Every player on a team roster shall be included in the team’s batting line-up for the full duration of the game.
• There are minimum participation requirements for all players in this age group.
• There are no catching restrictions.

Saturday Big League baseball is still about fun, fair play and enabling all players to have the opportunity to play in every position on the field. Most players in this age group have had some years playing in the younger divisions and have good skill levels and more of an understanding of the rules and plays in baseball.

All Big League divisions are played on a Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm.  PDS B/L team will play all metropolitan teams in the Division and games will either be home at Lakelands Oval or away depending on fixtures and teams in the competition.  **Details of the teams included in Big League Division will be available shortly.**
