1) Doing it simply and badly would be a relatively easy add-on, I'd think.

2) Doing it well would be an immense undertaking. In order to accurately sim what a 6-inning league would look like, you'd have to program that into the AI, which would change strategy, the way it uses pitchers, possibly fatigue, even the way teams value players. And I don't think most people would want the devs spending time on it.

OOTP is a pro baseball sim. It's simply not designed to simulate youth league baseball, any more than it could sim church-league softball or backyard wiffleball.
