Rule 17. THE KNOTHOLE PITCHER –
A. Rest Between Pitching Assignments –
1. Any player who pitches in any portion of a game (including practice games) shall not be permitted to pitch again without two complete nights’ rest between pitching assignments.
2. In any one day a pitcher cannot pitch more innings than the length of a normal game in his class in his District. Note: A single pitch in any inning counts as an inning pitched.
B. Pitch Count Limit
1. On the day he pitches, a pitcher shall be limited to the maximum number of pitches as follows: Class A – 90 pitches; Class B – 80 pitches; Class C – 70 pitches; Class D – 60 pitches provided that he has not exceeded his innings limit in 17(A)(2).
2. A “pitch” is recorded each time the pitcher addresses and throws a“pitch” towards home plate after the umpire has called “play ball” and the ball is live. Throws during a “timeout”(including warm-up pitches) shall not be counted in the pitch count. Pitches shall include strikes, balls, batted foul balls, batted fair balls, dead balls (such as hit by pitch) and any other “pitch” as defined by the National Major League Baseball Rules.
3. When the pitcher reaches his pitch count limit under this rule, the team manager, if he so chooses, may allow the pitcher to finish pitching to the current batter, but not be allowed to pitch to any other subsequent batter of that game or any other game during that same day which might be allowed under other sections of this rule.
4. Each manager shall have his team scorekeeper keep pitch counts for both the home and away teams’ pitchers. At the end of each half inning, each team’s scorekeeper shall verify and reconcile the recorded pitch count. The pitch count recorded in the home team’s scorebook for all pitchers shall govern in any disputes involving this rule and the umpire shall rely on the pitch count recorded in the home team’s scorebook if the umpire is requested to verify a pitcher’s pitch count prior to removing him from the game to comply with this rule. If the umpire determines the pitcher has exceeded his pitch count under this rule and should have not started pitching to the current batter, the umpire shall remove said pitcher from the game immediately. The replacement pitcher shall be given an adequate number of warm-up pitches before he begins to pitch to the batter.
C. Pitching In Multiple Games On The Same Day
1. A pitcher may pitch in more than one game on the same day provided that:
a. The pitcher has had two complete nights’ rest prior to the day of the games.
b. The pitcher pitches no more innings than the length of a normal game in his class in his District. 17 (A)(2)
