Pitch Count for 10U and above

• Coaches MUST track pitches.
• Coaches must confirm the pitch count with the umpire at the end of each inning and during a change of pitchers.
• Umpires will maintain a pitch count form for all games.
• The pitch count forms will be signed by BOTH coaches and the umpire following every game.
• The GameChanger application is recommended for use as it tracks pitches automatically.
• The maximum pitch count and required rest are both applied in reference to the count prior to starting their last batter (see table below).

Required Rest	10U	12U	14U
One (1) Calendar Day	35-45	40-50	45-55
Two (2) Calendar Days	46-60	51-65	56-70
Three (3) Calendar Days	61-75	66-85	71-95
DAILY MAXIMUM	75	85	95

• Example: A 10U pitcher currently has 42 pitches before facing his final batter. They are required only one (1) day of rest, even if their count exceeds 45 pitches at the completion of the last at bat.
• Example: A 14U pitcher currently has 94 pitches combined between his first game and second game of the day. He is allowed to face one more batter for the day and then will be required to have three (3) days of rest.
