Youth Pitching Regulations:
The MLB balk rule will be enforced. When a balk is called it is NOT a dead ball. Also, in the windup position, a pitcher is permitted to have his “free” foot on the rubber, in front of the rubber, behind the rubber, or off to the side of the rubber.
- Daily Limits
- 7U-8U: Daily max is 15 outs OR 50 pitches.
- 9U-10U: Daily max is 18 outs OR 75 pitches.
- 11U-12U: Daily max is 18 outs OR 85 pitches.
- 13U-14U: Daily max is 21 outs OR 95 pitches.
- Event Limits
- 7U-14U: Each Player is allowed 24 outs over a 3-day period.
- If a player records more than 9 outs in a day, they are required 2 days rest.
- 100 Pitch maximum over 2, 3 or 4 day events
- 140 Pitch maximum over 5+ day events
- Players can pitch in more than one game in a day if they do not exceed daily limits.
The definition to be utilized for the purpose of the pitching restrictions for end of a day shall be any time of night or day that the facility is closed and teams have a break in playing prior to the next days games.
Pitchers who record outs or pitch in a game that is forfeited will still have those outs/pitches counted toward their limitations.
Pitching Violations:
The pitcher must be replaced on the mound immediately upon notice of a violation, not a forfeit.
