Travel ball is like professional baseball for kids. You are allowed to lead off and steal. The pitcher can either try to pick you off or throw the ball home. When the batter steps up to the plate, he has a count of 0-0. You are allowed 3 strikes and then you're out. If you get 4 balls you get to go to first. There are 4 bases:first, second, third, and home. Everytime you step on home after going around the bases, your team gets a point.

Hey Mike-
ReplyDeleteAt what age in travel ball do they start allowing leadoffs, pitching from the stretch, etc? It used to be thirteen when I played.
