Major league division rules

Rule Changes that will take effect for the 2025 season:
  • Games are 3 innings (change from 4 innings in 2024)
  • To maximize the roster and get athletes the most at bats, the batting team will bat the entire line up each inning
  • Athletes only bat once per inning, even if the teams are not equal in size
  • The home team will still bat in the 3rd inning, regardless of score
  • Each batter gets 12 pitches (down from 15 in 2024)
  • Defensive teams may record more than 3 outs per inning. The inning ends when all batters of the opposing team have hit.
  • Unless an umpire is provided, coaches from the defensive team will umpire for that half-inning
No Drop Off Policy: A family member or staff (aide) is required to be at all Miracle League of the South Hills activities when your athlete is present. This policy is for children and adults. The family member or staff is responsible for the athlete in case of emergency or any situation where that athlete needs to be one-on-one with another person (i.e. bathroom breaks or emergencies).
