How many innings can a pitcher pitch in a week?

[goirishgreen]

What is the rule on how many innings a pitcher can pitch in a week? I know at this level, arms have to be protected but what is the rule? Maybe a coach or an official can answer this and is there a pitching log signed to keep teams honest?

i think they can appear in 10 innings. this situation happened last year in the district tournament between halls and oak ridge. oak ridge won the game on scoreboard but their pitcher threw too many innings that week and so oak ridge had to forefit the game and that put them out of the tournament.

Tssaa states that no player can pitch more than 10 innings on consecutive days. After one day's rest, he can pitch 10 innings on concecutive days.

Do you mean after one day's rest, the pitcher can pitch 10 more innings if his arm is able or 10 total innings a week? Still confused

We relished from this rule so I know it pretty good. A pitcher cannot pitch more than 10 innings in Two consecutive days, as for a week I have no clue but I know they cannot pitch more than 10 innings in 2 days. Oak Ridge screwed that one up.

there is no rule on innings pitched for a week - just the 10 innings on consecutive days rule.....

sounds like you could pitch 5 innings a day everyday.

This can't be right . Can it? Possibly 20 to 35 innings a week. This can't be right. Can it?

You should ask former Coach Wright at Clarkrange, I believe he had that rule printed on the back of his T-shirts one year just to get back at that Coach from Red Boiling.

I dont think you have to worry about that too much because the guy wouldnt have an arm if he pitched that much.

It sounds like there is alot of confusion about this. If I were a coach, I believe I would start my best pitcher every game for about 3 innings and get a good lead and save him - There's got to be some regulation on this.

Actually, that is correct. Once a pitcher has totalled ten innings in consecutive days he has to sit for one day, and then the cycle can start over again.
