WELCOME to the official website of EMERALD PONY BASEBALL.
PONY (Protect Our Nation's Youth)
The Emerald Pony Baseball League is located in El Cajon, California. Emerald Pony is a nonprofit youth benefit corporation and is operated totally by volunteer, coaches and parents. We provide a safe atmosphere while teaching the game of baseball for the kids of El Cajon and surrounding communities. We are governed by the Official Rules of Major League Baseball and PONY Baseball rules and regulations, which include those exceptions believed essential for our youth baseball program.
Play full Major League Baseball Rules
For players ages 7-8 years old pitching machine. For these younger players, hitting is the priority. With kid pitch at this age, once a child is hit by a pitcher, he will be afraid for some time. The player will develop bad habits, stepping out, and not watching the ball. More worried about being hit again. He needs to develop pure hitting skills, have fun, build confidence, and then he's ready to move up to the next level.
"Once you're hitting, You're having fun"
MUSTANG Division, for 9-10 year olds, full Major League rules on 60 foot diamond. BRONCO division, ages 11-12 years old on a 70 food diamond. PONY division, ages 13-14 on a 80 foot diamond. Progressive field sizes, versus going straight to a full size field and less chance of arm injuries.
