The pitchers
in the Mini-Rookies divisions may only pitch one inning in
a row so that other players get a chance to also play the pitcher
position.
Pitchers
in the Rookies, Mini-Minors, and Minors divisions are limited
to 21 outs per week during our recreational season. The week
begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Below are some examples
for counting outs against a pitcher:
- If the
first three batters strike out, then the pitcher would have
3 outs for the half-inning.
- If the
first three batters put the ball in play and the pitcher's
team then put the next 3 batters out at first, then the pitcher
would have 3 outs for the half-inning.
- If a
pitcher comes in and pitches to 7 batters and the pitchers
team makes one out before the other team scores 4 runs to
end the half inning, then that pitcher would be credited
with 1 out for the half-inning.
Pitching
eligibility for rescheduled games during the recreational season
shall revert to the week the game was originally scheduled.
Penalty for
using a pitcher more than
21 out in a week: Forfeit
game in which the pitcher
exceeded 21 outs with a score
of 0 to 7.
There are no
pitching limits in the playoff
tournament.
