Distance from mound to the plate different? Is this a different park than the LL games are on?

It's a standard little league field. 2/3 the scale of MLB. (60-foot basepaths instead of 90). Mound is 46 feet from home plate.

How would major leaguers on that field play out? Dueling no hitters? Would the pitchers just be impossible to hit at that distance? Outfield fences closer too? Random fly balls going out of the park?

Yeah, if major leaguers played on that field, I doubt anyone would get a hit in the whole game off a good fastball pitcher at 46 feet away.

Oh I was just flipping around the channels last night, landed on the Sunday Night game for a couple of minutes, it actually took me a couple of seconds to realize that they couldn't be playing on the exact same field that the little leaguers play on

Makes sense, how far is that field from the little league fields? Is it all one complex?

The minor league field is across the river in Williamsport. It's a really old park that predates the little league fields by a number of decades.
