This website is the online home of Pony Gold, Colt Red, SuperColt Blue, and SuperColt Red, Brighton Heights Athletic Associations' teams for boys and young men ages 13-19. These teams all play on Field 3, and all compete in City BIG League play. Most of these players began their playing careers in BHAA's teeball program.



SuperColts Finish Shy of PNC Park
BHAA's SuperColt Blue team — playing with several members of Colt Red — defeated Westwood last week to advance to the City BIG League semi-final game against Sacred Heart on July 26. Sacred Heart won the tussle 9-7 to advance to the citywide championship at PNC Park on Aug. 1. Congratulations on a solid season, SuperColts.

 Proper Pitching Distances
Are you working at home with your young baseball player who is an aspiring pitcher? Remember to work with a throwing distance appropriate for your son's age. The measurements listed below reflect the distance from the pitching mound to homeplate in the respective age brackets:

Jr. Little League (ages 9-10) — 46 feet
Sr. Little League (ages 11-12) — 46 feet
Pony (ages 13-14) — 54.6 feet
Colt, SuperColt (ages 15-18) — 60 feet
Pony Bat Adjustment
The accepted dimensions of pony league bats has been adjusted for the 2008 season by City BIG League to a limit of -8.5. The previous limit was -7. The barrel width of 2 5/8 remains the same as last season. BHAA has purchased a few new -8.5 bats to accommodate younger pony players who are more comfortable swinging lighter bats.
