Question
How big is the Little League batters box? What is the distance between the front end of the plate and the end of the batters box?

Answer
Terry;

This response is for the Little league BASEBALL divisions (and below) and do not conform to other divisions or for softball.

The batter’s box shall be rectangular, 6 feet by 3 feet, the inside line, if used, shall be parallel to and 4 inches away from the side of home plate. It shall extend forward from the center of home plate 3 feet and to the rear 3 feet.

I hope this has helped.
