LBLL Pitching Guidelines
Pitching Guidelines
- Any player who has played the position of catcher in four or more innings is not eligible to pitch on that calendar day. Once they've caught any part of the fourth inning, they've hit the limit.
- A pitcher who delivers 41 or more pitches in a game cannot play the position of catcher for the remainder of that day.
- A player who played the position of catcher for three (3) innings or less, moves to the pitcher position, and delivers 21 pitches or more in the same day, may not return to the catcher position on that calendar day.
