There’s a difference ?

Maybe the really good pitcher is not that great of a batter or fielder, so he needs to play in a development league to get better at those other skills. He can’t pitch all the time if it is a “little league.” Even the non “little leagues” where our boys play have pitching rules for various age levels. The child cannot pitch for every game. And making a 9-year-old play with 11/12yrolds could be too much for him. (I don’t think so based on our boys, but it’s possible. Our second son has been playing with 12yrolds since he was barely 9. He hasn’t had a problem except when he was catching for a boy who was throwing 75+. He cried a few times when he had to catch for that boy, but by the next season, he loved the challenge.)
