In the Minor division, player development and participation are still key, but the level of competition takes another step up.  Pitchers are allowed to throw any pitch as the mound has moved back and pitchers are now allowed to throw more consecutive outs.  Baserunners are now allowed to lead-off, so baserunning and pitching/catching become crucial parts of the game.  Selected Minor All-Stars also get the chance to represent the entire community of Bedford in the Monroe County Fair Annual Baseball Tournament.

Practices begin the first week of April, or sooner, depending on weather.  Your coach will contact you with practice days and times.

Games begin the last week of april.  Come back to the website for more details and updates.
