The pitcher, once they have reached their 1-day or 4-day maximum, can finish the batter and then needs to be removed from the game
- Paper scorekeepers are to interrupt the game when a pitcher has reached the daily limit of 60 (13-14 years) or 75 (15-18); it is the responsibility of the head coach to track the 4-day cumulative totals of their pitchers
- Cumulative pitch counts over four (4) consecutive days will also be subject to the pitch count maximums for each age group:
A League: maximum 60 pitches (July) and 70 pitches (August) over 4 consecutive days
AA League: maximum 60 pitches (July) and 70 pitches (August) over 4 consecutive days
AAA League: maximum 70 pitches (July) and 85 pitches (August) over 4 consecutive days
- The penalty for a head coach who breaks the above pitching rules will be:
- 1 game suspension for first infraction
- 3 game suspension for second infraction
Indefinite suspension for third infraction pending a review by the league.
