Frequently Asked QuestionsWho is BYBL?BYBL is the local chapter of PONY Baseball, Inc. (Protect Our Nation’s Youth) and a member of the Greater DuPage PONY Baseball Association (GDPBA). PONY believes that rather than change the rules of the game to make it possible for young peo-pletoplay,itisbettertochangethesizeoftheplayingfieldsandto adjust them to the potential of the players. For our Pinto and Mustang divisions (youngest players) they are taught fundamen-tals from the start, in a controlled environment that allows them to learn, while enhancing their skills, and still play real baseball too.

What are the advantages of BYBL?Authentic baseball rules right from the start, allowing both wind-upandstretchpitching,lead-offsandbasestealing–allskillsplayers will need as they advance.
