I think you'd be surprised as to how far those little guys can reach.

Remember, hitting is not done from an upright position. If the ball is off the outside corner, Little Johnny should have no trouble reaching out and striking it.

Go ahead - take a kid, hand him a bat, tell him to get in the box, and see just how far he can reach. You'll be amazed. In some cases, they can reach well into the opposite batter's box.
