we are not sure how we got confused-was there a pitching distance change recently? thanks

Answer
Debbie,

ASA

12U and 14U 40'

16U and 18U 43'

Yes there are some very recent changes to the pitching distance for both high school and ASA.

Next year all high school will be at 43'. Some states were 43' this year.

This summer was the first for 43' for ASA 16U
