TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN PITCHING RULES

The first day of rest begins the day after he pitches in a game. Failure to comply will result in a forfeit.

            TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN BASEBALL/PITCH SMART USA

These are the maximum number of pitches allowed per day in the Town of Brookhaven Baseball Program. Players will be required to rest said number of calendar days when reaching pitch limit (even if on multiple teams). Official pitch counts will be tracked by TOB BASEBALL, unless communicated otherwise. Teams are encouraged to also track their own pitch counts. Teams and TOB BASEBALL will meet at the completion of each game to confirm the pitching lines of all pitchers. Limits apply to specific age division, not player age. However, if a player is playing  a bove their age, they must adhere to their own age, not the division. Once a pitcher reaches his daily maximum limit, he must be removed from the game. If a pitcher reaches the maximum limit of pitches in a game during a batter’s plate appearance, the pitcher may continue in the

game until such plate appearance or the inning ends (i.e. by a third out made by catching a runner stealing), whichever comes first. THIS MAY AFFECT A PITCHER'S REQUIRED DAYS OF REST. That total pitch count will be counted towards your total pitch count. The pitcher must adhere to prescribed pitch counts for the remainder of the event. If a pitcher is brought into a game sooner than the mandatory calendar days’ rest, he becomes an ineligible player.

A pitcher is only allowed to pitch in one game per day unless pitcher throws 20/30 (as per age group listed above) or fewer pitches in first game. In that case, pitcher may pitch in 2nd game of the  day. Pitch totals for both games combined will require prescribed daily limits and required rest.
A player may not pitch three consecutive days.
