The Little League Board of Directors adopted a pitch limit for players in the Majors division (11 and 12 year olds) to be put into place for next year.
Pitchers will be limited to six innings per week or 85 pitches. If a pitcher throws more than 61 pitches, s/he must have three days of rest before pitching again.
In the recently ended National High School Baseball Tournament, pitcher Yuki Saito of the champion Waseda Jitsugyo school threw 948 pitches in seven games and threw four complete games in the last four days of the tournament, including a 15-inning tie.
