Why dosent Little League Baseball increase the distance of the fences, bases, and mound?

Question

12 year olds should be playing on larger fields than a 200 foot fence with 60 foot bases. And plus they arent allowed to take leads. I was playing on 80 foot bases by then and so should they.

Answer 1

because there only 12

Answer 2

If they increased the fence distance then not everyone would have the same advantage. The smaller younger little leaguers wouldn't be able to hit a homerun. If the increase the distance to the mound then more kids would be blowing their arms out earlier. Its bad enough they teach them to throw junk at an early age, and the bases just go along with the rest of the dimensions. Kids at 11, 12 and 13 arent mature enough physically for these distances.

Answer 3

Not if you played in any organized league, you didn't. Pony Leagues, Little League, all major established youth leagues use the same parameters, with the exception of the outfield fence's distance. The change occurs at 13 years of age, with some leagues using 80 ft. and others using 90-ft. basepaths, and the 60-6 distance between the rubber and the plate.

Answer 4

it's tradition, they won't change.
