On Deck Batter

In Little League the on deck batter is supposed to be behind the batter. It's a safety issue, for example LH Batter: on deck batter should be in 1st base on-deck circle. RH batter: on deck batter should be in 3rd base on deck circle. FED rules keep the on deck batter in his own on deck circle.

Whoa, big fella. In LL (majors and below) the on-deck batter may not be on the field. PERIOD!!!

Everywhere else, O-DB is in circle on his/her side of the field. It makes no difference if left- or right-handed.
