GOLDEN EAGLE PONY BASEBALL BRONCO DIVISION

GOLDEN EAGLE PONY BASEBALL BRONCO DIVISION, is a continuation of the philosophy to fit the diamond to the physical potential of the players.  The bases and pitching distances are scaled up slightly from MUSTANG Division.  The transition diamond used in Bronco Division, permits infielders and outfielders to select their defensive positions in relationship to the anticipated speed of the ball when they field it.  This diamond positions the infielders and outfielders in direct proportion to that assumed by Major League Baseball players and permits the younger players to play the game as it was designed to play.
