Little League adopts pitch limits for next year
2006-08-25 19:05
by Bob Timmermann

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.

But he still seemed fresh at the end.

Is this one of those things where it sounds like a lot, but only because of the conversion rate?

The linked story refers to some pitchers going well over 100 and some over 150 in games.

Hmm...this is new? The Little League in my hometown (Alameda, CA) already had those pitch count rules.

Oh, never mind...I guess Alameda was one of the pilot programs mentioned in the article.

Sounds like a good idea to me. They should also adopt some kind of age limit. No more 6 foot 8, 19 year olds!!! :) vr, Xei

I would say something about Dr. Mike Marshall, but nobody would listen.
