Under UHSAA rules, Utah high school pitchers may throw up to 110 pitches a day. Up to 35 pitches needs no rest; 86 or more needs 3 calendar days of rest. The extra limits are below.
The UHSAA rest table
All levels · 110 pitches a day at most
| Pitches in a day | Rest before pitching again |
|---|---|
| 1–35 | None: may pitch the next day |
| 36–60 | 1 calendar day |
| 61–85 | 2 calendar days |
| 86–110 | 3 calendar days |
Other limits
- No pitcher may throw more than 75 pitches over two consecutive days; reaching 75 over two days requires one full day of rest.
- A pitcher who reaches 110 during an at-bat may finish that batter but must exit the game immediately afterward.
- Game days are determined by the day the game is scheduled to begin.
- Pitch counts must be entered into PitchKount within 24 hours; non-reporting is fined $250 per incident (approved 3/23/25).
- Penalty for exceeding: first offense two-game coach suspension; second and later offenses forfeiture; any postseason violation is an automatic forfeit.
- Umpires do not monitor pitch counts.
- Utah teams follow UHSAA limits in out-of-state games unless the event's limits are stricter.

The calculator above is set to Utah. Enter the pitches thrown and the day, and it shows the rest required and the first day the pitcher can throw again.
How to read the rule
Rest is counted in calendar days, after the day the pitcher threw. A pitcher who throws 73 pitches on a Tuesday needs 2 calendar days of rest, so the first day they can pitch again is Friday. The most rest any Utah table requires is 3 days.
Where the rule comes from
These numbers are from the association’s own document: UHSAA Baseball Pitch Count Rule (rev. 3/27/2025), read as the UHSAA pitch count rule (revised Mar 27, 2025). Associations can change their rules between seasons, so if the season is about to start, check the association’s current baseball manual too. Your league or tournament may also set stricter limits than the state.
Keeping the count is usually the coaches’ job, often with both teams’ counts compared after the game. The pitch count log has a line for every pitcher and game.
