18U -Midget
For players ages 16-18
For the Midget division, Burnaby Baseball Association offers a AA program in the Spring and Summer season, and AAA & College Prep single season programs designed for the more advanced player . AAA and College Prep will run one continuous season from Spring to Summer. The teams can play an interlocking schedule consisting of 20 to 25 games (depending upon number of teams) against the other associations. All home games are played at Robert Burnaby Park and Central Park while we travel to the other association parks for our away games. With some minor exceptions for substitutions, teams at this level play according to the regular rules of baseball. Pitch count rules will be in effect to protect the young pitchers from injury. All pitch counts will be according to BC guidelines. The base paths are set at 90 feet and the distance to the pitching rubber is set at 60 feet 6 inches. The fences are set at 285’ in left & right fields and 320’ in centre field, to a maximum of 320’ in left & right fields and 400’ in centre field. A regulation game is 7 innings and may not be called earlier unless it is for a permitted reason. Players are expected to help and support their team mates, and exhibit respect and good sportsmanship towards umpires, coaches and other players, win or lose.
