Pitch Counter
A pitch counter records every live pitch a pitcher throws so the daily limit and the required rest can be enforced. This one counts the game and then does the part other tools leave out: enter the final count and league age and it returns the rest days owed and the date that pitcher may next take the mound.
Keep one counter per pitcher, and press Ctrl+Z if a pitch is logged twice.
Auto uses your step size, stops on its own at a min or max limit, and records the whole run as a single undo.

Built for the official pitch count recorder: one tap per live pitch, a total you can read out when a manager asks, and the rest-day arithmetic done for you afterwards.
A pitch counter is a tool that records the number of pitches a pitcher throws during a game, used to enforce daily pitch limits and mandatory rest periods that exist to protect young arms from overuse injury.

How to keep the count during a game
The recorder's count is the official one, so it needs to survive two hours of attention.
Name a counter for each pitcher
Use the pitcher's name, not the team. A mid-inning change then needs no arithmetic afterwards.
Tap once per live pitch
Balls, strikes, fouls and pitches that hit the batter all count. Warm-up pitches do not.
Mark the pitch before you watch the play
The ball is the part you will remember. The tap is the part you will not.
Read the total out at each pitching change
It creates a witnessed checkpoint, and managers plan substitutions around it.
Run the rest calculator when the pitcher is done
Enter the final count and league age to get the rest owed and the next eligible date.
Who uses a pitch counter
Pitch limits exist because overuse injuries in young arms are cumulative and largely preventable. Counting is how the limit becomes real.
Official scorekeepers
Little League requires each league to designate an official pitch count recorder. This is that job, without a paper grid.
Coaches and managers
The manager must remove an ineligible pitcher whether or not anybody tells them. A running count on the bench is the safeguard.
Parents tracking their own player
Across a season and several teams, a personal record catches the cumulative load any single scorebook misses.
Travel and tournament play
Several games in a weekend is exactly where rest rules get broken. The calculator settles eligibility before the next game, not after.
Pitching coaches
Bullpen and side-session counts alongside game counts, one named counter each.
Umpires
The Umpire-in-Chief is told when a pitcher reaches the maximum and informs the manager. A second count is a useful cross-check.
Rest day calculator
Enter what a pitcher threw and this returns the rest they owe and the date they are next eligible. The tables are published everywhere; the arithmetic is the part that gets done wrong in a car park after a game. It answers for one outing under Little League’s table; for a pitcher who throws on several days in a week, or a league on Pitch Smart or Baseball Canada’s rules, the pitch count rest calculator plans the whole week and names the next day they may pitch.
Enter a pitch count and a league age.
The counter above is for counting the game as it happens. Keep one counter per pitcher so a mid-inning change does not leave you splitting a number afterwards.
| League age 14 and under | League age 15–16 | Rest required |
|---|---|---|
| 1–20 | 1–30 | None |
| 21–35 | 31–45 | 1 day |
| 36–50 | 46–60 | 2 days |
| 51–65 | 61–75 | 3 days |
| 66+ | 76+ | 4 days |
Figures are Little League’s published regular-season regulations, checked against the official pitch count rules on 13 September 2026. Confirm them each season, and check your own league’s local rules, which may be stricter but never looser. The full guide to keeping the count covers the notation and what counts as a pitch.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pitch count limit by age?
In Little League regular-season play the daily maximum is 50 pitches for league age 6 to 8, 75 for 9 to 10, 85 for 11 to 12, and 95 for 13 to 16. The limit follows league age rather than the age the player turned this year, so confirm it before the game.
How many days rest after 66 pitches?
Four days, for league age 14 and under. The tiers are 1 to 20 pitches no rest, 21 to 35 one day, 36 to 50 two days, 51 to 65 three days, and 66 or more four days. League age 15 to 16 uses higher thresholds, reaching four days at 76 pitches.
Can a pitcher finish the batter after reaching the limit?
Yes. A pitcher who reaches the daily maximum mid at-bat may continue until one of exactly three things happens: that batter reaches base, that batter is put out, or the third out is made. The pitcher must then be removed from the mound.
Does finishing a batter increase the rest required?
No, and this is the rule most often misread. The rest tier is fixed by the first pitch thrown to a batter, not by the final total. A pitcher who crosses a tier boundary while finishing an at-bat does not move up a tier for those extra pitches.
Do warm-up pitches count?
No. Only pitches thrown while the ball is live count toward the limit, so warm-ups between innings and before entering the game are excluded however many are thrown. If you are unsure whether a pitch counts, ask the umpire during the game.
Can a pitcher pitch three days in a row?
No. Under no circumstance may a player pitch on three consecutive days, whatever the counts on those days. This rule sits above the rest tiers and has no exception for very low pitch counts.
Who keeps the official pitch count?
Each league must designate the scorekeeper or another game official as the official pitch count recorder. That person supplies the count to any manager or umpire who asks and notifies the Umpire-in-Chief when a pitcher reaches the daily maximum.
Are these rules the same everywhere?
No. These are Little League's regular-season regulations. Other organisations including PONY, Babe Ruth, USSSA and state high school associations publish their own limits, and individual leagues may adopt stricter local rules. They may never adopt looser ones.
