Under NO circumstances shall a player pitch three (3) consecutive days

PITCH COUNT VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION OR REMOVAL OF A MANAGER

Maximum pitches per day: 

Ages 8 and younger – 50 pitches 

Ages 9-10 – 75 pitches 

Ages 11-12 – 85 pitches
 
Ages 13-16 – 95 pitches 

14U and Under - Days of rest after pitching: 

1.) 66 or greater = 4 calendar days
2.) 51-65 = 3 calendar days
3.) 36-50 = 2 calendar days
4.) 21-35 = 1 calendar day
5.) 20 or less = can pitch next day

15U and 16U – Days of rest after pitching:

1. 76 or greater = 4 calendar days 
2. 61 - 75 = 3 calendar days
3. 46 – 60 = 2 calendar days
4. 31 -45 = 1 calendar day 
5. 1-30 = 0 calendar day.

EXCEPTIONS: If a pitcher reaches a day(s) of rest threshold while facing a batter, the pitcher may continue to pitch until any one of the following conditions occurs:
(1) that batter reaches base;
(2) that batter is retired; or
(3) the third out is made to complete the half-inning or the game. The pitcher will only be required to observe the calendar day(s) of rest for the threshold he/she reached during that at-bat, provided that pitcher is removed or the game is completed before delivering a pitch to another batter. 

Catcher to pitcher ban:  Catchers playing 4 or more innings in a game are not eligible to pitch on that calendar day. 

Pitcher to catcher ban:  Any pitcher who delivers 41 or more pitches in a game may not go behind the plate to play catcher for the remainder of the day. 

A pitcher once removed from the mound cannot return as a pitcher. 
EXCEPTION for Junior and Senior Divisions only: A pitcher remaining in the game, but moving to a different position, can return as a pitcher anytime in the remainder of the game, but only once per game. 

For travel ball players, the Manager should reasonably inquire into any players who also pitched over a weekend and do their best to ensure a player is not being over-pitched.
