Issaquah Little League will be hosting our sixth Home Run Derby on Sunday May 31, 10am at Dodd Field! It is free for all softball players and baseball players who are Little League aged 9-12, and fun for any member of the community to watch and socialize!
All hitters will receive 10 outs to hit as many dingers as they possibly can. Any pitch that is swung on with the ball not landing over the fence in fair territory is an out. Any fair ball that lands over the (temporary) fence (120ft for softball, 170ft for baseball) is a home run!
At the end of the 1st round, the top 10 finishers will advance to the 2nd round. The best of the 2nd round will be the Homerun Derby champion!
