Sandy Koufax League, Just below Mickey Mantle.
At 13Yr's of age play a 54' mound 80' bases.
which is ideal for the transition from major's LL 46', 60'.

I noticed a lot of the kid's that start to play select ball about this time. And other Player's that don't make the select team with there buddy's Quit rather than play with maybe lessor talented player's on the Local Team's.
Which is a shame, Cause they could really hone there Skill's
Playing all the Time, and being the Stud on there Local Team.
Which will Boost there Confidence.

Real Baseball start's when the Player's reach about 15/16 yrs. of age.
That's when thing's that they been taught over the year's start to kick in.
Body's change, and those Player's that were the best at 12yr's old no longer play are don't have the Academic's to Play. JMHO
