Teams of the MOTSBL

 About the League

•      The Metro Older Timers Softball League (MOTSBL) has played for the past 30 years
• Ottawa's Only Woodbat Softball League
•      The league is for players 40 and over
• The pitching style is Orthodox or Conventional
  
• We play Wednesday nights at Bells Corner High School at 7:00PM and 8:30PM, in Nepean Ontario

Wooden Bats

• In 2019, MOTSBL contacted Sam Bat of Carleton Place ( https://sambat.com/ ) to provide wood bats to the league. The league purchased 8 hard maple wood bats, and many players purchased their own customized bats.
• Hard maple is also known as Rock Maple or Sugar Maple. This is the same tree that is tapped to get maple syrup, not much more Canadian than that eh?

·    The league introduced wood bats to:

•      Reduce the number of injuries to the pitcher and to those playing in the in-field
•      Reduce the number of home runs to make the games more competitive
•      Give players more opportunity to field and and throw the ball to make plays
  
•      Cost, the bats are substantially cheaper than composite bats 
•      The League wanted to “level the playing field” and ensure the long-term integrity of the league
