RLL Specific Pitching Rules
· All Little League International Pitching Rules are in effect
· All Children in Majors, AAA, and AA will pitch a minimum of TWO complete innings or 12 batters within the season unless specific exclusion request by parent; this should only be a consideration because the Managers could not figure out how to work around the batting order of both teams. Reverse the order to start off a game if needed. This parent request must be sent directly to the Player Agent from the parent.
· No Child can throw more than 40 pitches in a game until after the First Saturday in May.
· PRIOR to the First Saturday in May, the pitcher can complete pitching to that batter if at agreed pitch 39 or fewer but MUST record ALL pitches thrown (even if declared the final batter the pitcher is pitching to). (For example, if at Pitch 39, and the Manager declares last batter, the pitcher proceeds to throw 8 more pitches in agreed total, the official and submitted pitch count will be 47 pitches NOT 39.
· PRIOR to First Saturday in May, if a pitcher has an agreed total of 35 or less pitches and the manager declares the final batter prior to 36 pitches, the pitcher can complete pitching to that batter but if goes over pitch 35 MUST record ALL pitches (even if declared the final batter the pitcher is pitching to). (For example, if at Pitch 33, and the Manager declares last batter, the pitcher proceeds to throw 8 more pitches in agreed total, the official and submitted pitch count will be 41 pitches NOT 33. Therefore trips the two day rest requirement).
· After the SECOND SATURDAY IN MAY, only Little League International Pitching Rules will apply
