Working out the date
Count the calendar days of rest after the day pitched. 0 days: may pitch tomorrow. 3 days after pitching on a Monday: rest Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, eligible Friday.
Little League: never three days in a row. 41+ pitches: no catching the rest of that day. Catching 4+ innings: no pitching that day.
High school: use your state association's chart. The rest thresholds and limits differ by state.
How to fill it in
- After each game, write one line per pitcher: date, opponent, the pitcher’s age or level, and the pitch count.
- Look up the rest days for that count in your league’s chart. Little League’s chart is printed on the sheet; high school teams use their state association’s.
- Write the first day they may pitch again. Count calendar days of rest after the day they pitched: 2 days of rest after pitching on a Saturday means resting Sunday and Monday and pitching again Tuesday.
- If the player also caught that day, note the innings. In Little League, a player who throws 41 or more pitches can’t catch for the rest of that day, and one who catches 4 or more innings can’t pitch that day.
- Many leagues ask both teams’ pitch counters to agree on the count after the game; the last column is for their initials.
Little League’s rest chart, in short
For players league age 14 and under: 1–20 pitches needs no rest, 21–35 needs 1 day, 36–50 needs 2, 51–65 needs 3, and 66 or more needs 4. Ages 15–16 have higher thresholds: 30, 45, 60 and 75. Daily limits run from 50 pitches (ages 6–8) to 95 (ages 13–16), and no one may pitch three days in a row. League age is the player’s age on August 31.
