Notes on pitching guidelines:

  1. The limits are enforced at the level the athlete pitches. Limits are per day, not per game.
  2. SBL pitcher will be allowed to finish the batter if he reaches 110 pitch limit during the at-bat. 
  3. If a pitcher throws in consecutive days, his cumulative total of pitches for those two days will determine the number of days rest required. .  Ex. Pitcher throws 20 pitches on Tuesday and throws 30 on Wednesday he has thrown a total of 50.  He will need 2 days’ rest.
  4. A days rest is defined as a Calendar day.  Example: A pitcher throws 65 pitches on Monday. By rule, he will not be eligible to pitch again until he has 3 days’ rest.  (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) He would be eligible to pitch again on Friday.
  5. A player who has pitched is allowed to move to catcher in the same game/day and vice versa.
