BASEBALL PITCHING RULES:
● Age 10 year olds may not pitch more than 75 pitches in one day.
● Age 11-12 year olds may not pitch more than 85 pitches in one day.
Exception: If a pitcher reaches the limit for his/her league age while facing a batter, the pitcher may continue to pitch until any one of the following conditions occurs:
o That batter reaches base;
o That batter is put out;
o The third out is made to complete the half-inning.
● A pitcher who delivers 41 or more pitches in a game CANNOT play the position of catcher for the remainder of that day.
Pitchers league age 14 and under must adhere to the following rest requirements:
● If a player pitches 66 or more pitches in a day, four (4) calendar days of rest must be observed.
● If a player pitches 51 - 65 pitches in a day, three (3) calendar days of rest must be observed.
● If a player pitches 36 - 50 pitches in a day, two (2) calendar days of rest must be observed.
● If a player pitches 21 - 35 pitches in a day, one (1) calendar days of rest must be observed.
● If a player pitches 1-20 pitches in a day, no (0) calendar day of rest is required.
● The pitch count recorder must provide the current pitch count for any pitcher when requested by either manager or any umpire. However, the manager is responsible for knowing when his/her pitcher must be removed.
● The official pitch count recorder should inform the umpire-in-chief when a pitcher has delivered his/her maximum limit of pitches for the game. The umpire-in-chief will inform the pitcher's manager that the pitcher must be removed. However, the failure by the pitch count recorder to notify the umpire-in-chief, and/or the failure of the umpire-in-chief to notify the manager, does not relieve the manager of his/her responsibility to remove a pitcher when that pitcher is no longer eligible.
NOTES:
● 1. The withdrawal of an ineligible pitcher after that pitcher is announced, or after a warm-up pitch is delivered, but before that player has pitched a ball to a batter, shall not be considered a violation
● 2. Pitches delivered in games declared "Regulation Tie Games" or "Suspended Games" shall be charged against pitcher's eligibility.
● 3. In suspended games resumed on another day, the pitchers of record at the time the game was halted may continue to pitch to the extent of their eligibility for that day, provided said pitcher has observed the required days of rest.
