Pickup player rules
All pickup players must be pre-approved by text by Benjie, 503-559-5398 or Zak, 971-517-4071 – list player name, position and what team and class they are from.

Pickup player rules:
Age eligible kids (using USA age dates) are eligible
C can pick up from c
B can pick up from b or c
A can pick up from a b or c

Any exception to these rules must get pre-approved by Benjie as we don’t want Allstar teams and we don’t want your main pitchers sitting and watching the pick up pitcher pitch every inning . Age eligible kids who play on older teams have to be pre-approved and may be denied. Only Benjie can make exceptions to the rules based on a team’s lack of competitive ability or severe hardship.
