I brought this up when my son was in his first year of kid pitch. Suggested to the local league they should limit steals to one per inning. They didn’t even consider it.
- Kids never rep in-game double plays.
- Kids never have to sacrifice bunt
- Kids never learn the proper 1B to 3B baserunning read.
- Kids never get to rep a cut to 3B.
So many other in-game situations are never worked bc runners are on 3B in two pitches.

One of the biggest flaws with youth travel baseball is leadoffs and stolen bases. Guys think they’re teaching “real baseball” but all they’re doing is eliminating a ton of situations for defenses to learn to execute.View quoted post on X
