Introducing Speed Ball: The Exciting Alternative to Baseball During the Pandemic

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a remarkable innovation has emerged from Northern California - Speed Ball. Developed by Legends Baseball founder David Klein, this electrifying game was created as a substitute to provide players with more playing time during these challenging times.

Speed Ball revolves around three teams of four players each. One team takes the role of the batters, another handles the infield, and the final team defends the outfield. The batting team has the exhilarating task of reaching the run limit of 5 runs per inning or making 3 outs. Once this is achieved, the teams rotate, with players moving from the outfield to the infield, infield to batting, and batting to the outfield. This means that batters have the thrilling opportunity to bat multiple times per inning if they exceed the run limit. Imagine the excitement as players take their turn at the plate up to 15 times in just an hour and a half game!

The game is adapted to different age groups to keep the momentum going. For the younger players, coaches take on the role of pitching throughout the entire game, ensuring a seamless experience. Even in TBall, coaches are dedicated to tending the tee, ready for batters to swing into action.

Speed Ball's main objective is to provide players with more at-bats and opportunities to make plays in the field compared to traditional baseball games. This unique approach allows for coaching instruction during gameplay, maximizing the teaching and coaching potential in the same time frame.

I have had the privilege of engaging in several Zoom meetings with Legends Speed Ball coaches and the visionary founder himself. Brace yourself for a thrilling experience that sets Speed Ball leagues apart from ordinary TBall leagues. We hope this new approach will keep kids fully engaged and captivated by the game.
