| Consecutive-day rule | Second game the same day: ineligible if the pitcher threw 25-39 pitches in two consecutive innings or more than 40 in one inning in game 1. |
|---|---|
| Weekly / multi-day limit | HS: 165 per 7 days in the first 6 games, then 205. MS: 135 per 7 days in the first 4 games, then 175. |
| Finish the batter at max? | Yes, at daily and weekly limits. |
| How rest days are counted | Not stated in source |
| Season / version | Revised 4/3/2025 |
| Notes | The source lists middle-school tiers only up to 65 pitches; rest above 65 is not stated, so it is left blank. |
When can they pitch again? Add every day they pitched (tournaments often start Thursday).
Rest days are calendar days after the game date, so 3 days of rest after a Tuesday outing means eligible Saturday. Consecutive-day, multi-day and event caps are applied where the rule states numbers; anything else is listed as not calculated.
How many pitches can they throw on a given day, after their recent outings?
