Welcome to Middlesex Youth Baseball ⚾💙

Middlesex Youth Baseball (MYB) is more than just a baseball league — it’s a community built around kids, families, teamwork, and a love for the game.

From first-time Tee Ball players learning how to swing a bat to teenagers playing full-field baseball under the lights, MYB provides a place for players to grow, compete, build confidence, and create lifelong memories.

Our goal is simple: create an environment where kids can develop skills, make friends, have fun, and stay connected to the game for years to come.

Our Divisions

Tee Ball (Typically Ages 4–6)

Our youngest division focuses on fun, confidence-building, and learning the basics of baseball in a positive and encouraging environment.

✔ Everyone bats
✔ Scores are not kept
✔ Practices are division-wide  pre-season, no formal practices once games start 
✔ Saturday morning games
✔ Development-focused and beginner-friendly

Many of our players start here and stay with the league all the way through high school.

📍 Played at Steve Fellin Field in Middlesex

46/60 Baseball (Typically Ages 7–9)

The name “46/60” refers to the baseball field dimensions:
• 46 feet from pitching mound to home plate
• 60 feet between bases

This division introduces players to more structured baseball while still heavily focusing on development. Games are primarily coach pitch early in the season, with many teams transitioning toward player pitching as the season progresses.

✔ Typically 2 games per week, plus practices (per coach)

✔ Umpired games

✔ Announced games

✔ Playoffs and championships

✔ More advanced uniforms and equipment

✔ Coach pitch to start with goal of player pitch by end of season

✔ No stealing, no leading

✔ Inning by inning run caps to keep games moving and competitive

✔ Competitive, but development remains the priority 

📍 Played at Steve Fellin Field in Middlesex

50/70 Baseball (Typically Ages 10–12)

“50/70” refers to:
• 50 feet from mound to plate
• 70 feet between bases

Players continue building baseball IQ, defensive skills, pitching, catching, and situational play while preparing for the transition to full-field baseball.

✔ Increased competitiveness

✔ Typically 2 games per week, plus practices (per coach)

✔ Announced games

✔ Professional looking uniforms with player names on back

✔ Umpired games

✔ Night games under the lights

✔ Stealing and advanced gameplay

✔ Playoffs and championships

✔ All-Star opportunities

✔ Home Run Derby events 

Although the distances increase, this division still plays on the same overall field size as 46/60.

📍 Played at Steve Fellin Field in Middlesex

60/90 Babe Ruth Baseball (Typically Ages 13–15)

“60/90” is full-sized baseball:
• 60 feet, 6 inches from mound to plate
• 90 feet between bases

This is where the field itself finally becomes full-sized baseball, similar to high school, college, and professional baseball.

Babe Ruth gives players the opportunity to continue sharpening their skills, compete against surrounding towns, and experience different levels of talent and gameplay. For many players, it provides a strong balance alongside travel baseball and school teams — competitive and developmental, but often with less pressure and intensity than year-round travel schedules.

Games may be played in Middlesex or in surrounding towns, depending on the season schedule. Travel is typically within about 25 minutes of Middlesex.

📍 Home games played at Cook Field in Middlesex
📍 Away games played in surrounding towns

More Than Baseball

What truly makes MYB special is the community behind it.

Our league is powered by volunteer coaches, board members, parents, sponsors, photographers, team parents, and local supporters who step up year after year to create an incredible experience for our players.

From field prep and fundraising to photography, team support, scorekeeping, and events — MYB succeeds because of the people who care deeply about youth sports and this community.

A League Families Grow Up In

For many families, MYB becomes part of their childhood memories and family traditions.

Players often begin in Tee Ball, grow through each division with their friends and teammates, and eventually return years later as coaches, volunteers, and parents themselves.

Whether your child is picking up a glove for the first time or preparing for advanced baseball competition, we are excited to welcome your family to Middlesex Youth Baseball.

See you at the fields. ⚾💙
