Pitching Rules
Starting with the 2007 season, pitchers in all divisions of Little League, from age 7 to 18, will have specific limits for each game, based on their age.
The number of pitches delivered in a game will determine the amount of rest the player must have before pitching again. The number of pitches allowable under the new regulation is based on the pitcher’s age. Specific rest periods are in place when a pitcher reaches a higher threshold of pitches delivered in a day.
The table below gives an overview of the number of pitches that will be allowed per day for each age group during the regular season.
Total Pitches allowed per day by age:
85 Pitches = 11 & 12 year old players
75 Pitches = 9 & 10 year old players
50 Pitches = 7 & 8 year old players
All Pitchers that must adhere to the following rest requirements:
61 or more pitches in a day = three (3) calendar days of rest & at least 1 game rest.
41 - 60 pitches in a day = two (2) calendar days of rest & at least 1 game rest.
21 - 40 pitches in a day = one (1) calendar day of rest.
1-20 pitches in a day = no calendar day of rest is required before pitching again.
In addition to these rules, pitchers that are removed from a game are is prohibited from playing the position of catcher for the remainder of that day.
