International Tournament Tip of the Day –
Tip 10
Pitch Count: Designating a Pitch Counter
Each Tournament Director MUST designate an individual to keep
the OFFICIAL count for the all tournament games at all levels of
baseball. This person will track the pitches thrown per game for
each pitcher who enters the game. We encourage this individual to
update the managers of both teams as to the status of their pitchers
throughout the game. Everyone, including the opposing manager,
should strive to prevent a pitcher from exceeding the prescribed
number of pitches.
However, this does not relieve each individual baseball tournament
manager from his responsibility for keeping track of pitches thrown
by his/her pitcher. The team manager must be aware of the number of
pitches thrown, and is responsible for planning accordingly to
eliminate the possibility of a protest. Overuse of a pitcher is
basis for protest and may result in forfeiture by action of the
Tournament Committee in Williamsport.
The complete rule is located on T-12, 13 of the 2007 Tournament
Rules and Guidelines.
