Update 6/9/25: All Star Teams Have Been Selected

We are proud to say that we have fulfilled the Little League requirement of 12 games for all player pitch teams. The four York Little League All-Star teams have been selected (10u and 12u baseball and softball). Congratulations to all who were selected. For the first time in recent memory we may have enough interest and ability to form an 11u baseball team as well. That is being worked on as we speak. 

For any young athlete who did not make an all-star team, we know that it can be a disappointment. We hope that they can channel it and continue to work on their game to get where they want it to be. Our dedicated coaches and baseball/softball board members are happy to speak with any players that want to know what it would take to improve their chances next time.

All-Star Selection Process

Per league bylaws, the selection process will proceed as follows:

 

• Ballot Distribution & Voting Date: May 31, 2025
• Eligible Players: All 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds in the Majors Division

Voting Process:

• Each Majors Division manager will receive a ballot listing all eligible players and will distribute them to their team.
• Players may vote for up to eight (8) All-Star candidates. Self-votes are not allowed. Ballots with more than eight selections will be invalid.
• Managers will vote similarly, but their votes will be weighted as five (5) points each.
• Assistant coaches (two per team) will also vote, with each vote counting as three (3) points.
• The top eight (8) players with the highest point totals will be automatically selected.
• In the event of a tie, the Board of Directors will vote to break it.
• The All-Star Manager will then finalize the roster (12–14 players) by selecting additional players in consultation with regular season coaches and the Player Agent.

The 10U selection process differs from the 12U format and will be based on tryouts.

🔹 10U Baseball and Softball Tryouts

• Who Can Try Out: Players “little league aged” 8–10 from the Majors and AAA Divisions
• Signups: Conducted at the field on the tryout dates below.

⚾ Baseball Tryout Dates:

• Saturday, May 24, 2025 | 9:00–11:00 AM Cancelled due to non-favorable conditions
• Sunday, June 1, 2025 | 4:00–6:00 PM

🥎 Softball Tryout Dates:

• Sunday, June 1, 2025 | 6:00–7:30 PM
• Monday, June 2, 2025 | 6:30–8:00 PM

Players are encouraged to attend both sessions if possible. Attending one is sufficient for eligibility. If a player cannot attend either, please contact the league to discuss options.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Hitting: Bat speed, contact, power, mechanics
• Fielding: Grounders, fly balls, footwork, arm strength
• Throwing: Accuracy, velocity, mechanics
• Additional factors: coachability, attitude, effort, and game IQ

Note: Pitching will not be evaluated during tryouts.

Selection Process:

• Evaluators will identify 16 players to be submitted to the 10U All-Star Baseball and Softball Managers.
• The Managers will then select the final roster (12–14 players), depending on roster size preference.

The league is currently exploring the possibility of forming an 11U All-Star Baseball team. More information will be shared if this moves forward.

• Practice Commitment: Daily practices may be scheduled during the All-Star season.
• Game Format: A continuous batting order will be used; all players will bat.
• Playing Time: Playing time may vary. Managers will prioritize winning, which may affect field time compared to regular season games.
• Development Opportunities: All-Star practices, scrimmages, and non-All-Star tournaments present significant development opportunities for all players.
• Season Length: If your child is selected for one of the All-Star teams, they are expected to be available from the end of the York Little League season through early July 2nd for softball and July 13 for baseball, and possibly beyond if their team wins the district and qualifies for states.

• Post All-Star Tournaments: Optional tournaments after the All-Star season. Participation is not required but encouraged for more game experience.
• KTB Baseball League (10U & 12U): A summer league offering games throughout the season.
• Summer Softball: YLL is looking into the possibility of a twice-a-week York summer league for all little league ages. More information coming soon.
