Every youth league has pitch count rules. Every coach needs a reliable way to track them. Baseball Scorebook counts pitches automatically as you score, so you never lose track.

Young arms are still developing. Overuse is the leading cause of youth baseball arm injuries. That is why every major youth league from Little League to travel ball has strict rules about how many pitches a player can throw in a game and how much rest they need afterward.
The problem is tracking them reliably. A manual clicker can lose count. A parent with a pencil and tally marks can get distracted. And once you lose the count mid-game, there is no way to recover it accurately.
Accurate pitch counts protect developing arms from overuse injuries.
Stay within league limits and avoid forfeits or protests over pitch count violations.
Know exactly how many rest days a pitcher needs before they can throw again.
Rules vary by league, but here are the general guidelines used across most youth baseball organizations.
| Age | Max Pitches/Game | Rest Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 7-8 | 50 pitches | 1-4 days depending on count |
| 9-10 | 75 pitches | 1-4 days depending on count |
| 11-12 | 85 pitches | 1-4 days depending on count |
| 13-16 | 95 pitches | 1-4 days depending on count |
| 17-18 | 105 pitches | 1-4 days depending on count |
These are general guidelines based on USA Baseball Pitch Smart recommendations. Always check your specific league rules.
Unlike standalone pitch counters where you have to remember to click a button on every single pitch, Baseball Scorebook tracks pitch counts as a natural part of scoring the game. When you record each at-bat, the app knows how many pitches were thrown.
Record each at-bat as it happens. Hits, outs, walks, strikeouts.
The app calculates the running pitch count for each pitcher based on the plays you record.
Check the current pitch count for any pitcher at any point during the game. No guessing, no recounting.
Start tracking pitch counts at your next game. Baseball Scorebook is free, works on any device, and takes 30 seconds to set up.
