Intentional walks

[Guest Mike]

Is there a limit to the number of times you can intentionally walk the same batter in a little League baseball game?

[stevis]

No. 

I mean, no more than once per plate appearance, but that's not what you meant.

Well, there's a pitch limit, and I think (I don't work LL, so I hope I've remembered this correctly) each IW counts as 4 pitches.  Someone can do the mathe assuming each onther batter is retired on one pitch (or heck, assuming each other batter is retired with no pitches)...

No, nor is there a limit to the number of times a player can hit home runs in a Little League baseball game.

Nor is there a limit to the speed of a pitcher's fastball.

Or the number of times the pitcher can strike out the same number 9 batter in a game.

And there's no extra base award for walking a boy ahead of a girl.

 

Many of these are, however, addressed in beer league slow pitch.

Oh boy... not this again....

Thanks for the reply’s and the info and I did read through the other thread. 

Out of respect for a great hitter it was only for strategy that we walked him after a 230+ ft home run(205 fence) his first at bat. His dad/ coach was screaming that you can only intentionally walk a batter 1 time per game with just taking the 4 pitches and putting him on the base. So we threw 4 pitches outside and walked him anyway. I know the other coach would do the same if the positions were switched. Maybe the batter will look back and realize that it was out of respect and strategy, not something personal.
