Do NC or SC high schools have any rules regarding pitch counts, days rest, innings pitched? If so, what are they? Thanks.

(PS. I still can't find anything rules except rule "interpretations" pdf and "bbcor rule" powerpoints on NCHSAA website).

 

New Rules listed

For the purposes of this rule, delivery of one pitch constitutes having pitched in one inning.
• A pitcher may pitch in a maximum of nine (9) innings in one day but not more than fourteen (14) innings in any seven-day consecutive period.

• If a pitcher pitches in one inning for four consecutive days that pitcher shall have one calendar day of rest from competition pitching beginning with the day following the fourth consecutive day a pitch is thrown.

Where will they keep this info? How does an opposing coach know how many innings a pitcher has pitched for the week. I would think that the umpire would have to report it to someone and that person would need a web site to post it.

 

This is from the Baseball Information section of the NCHSAA Handbook.

Pitching Regulation : No player may pitch more than 12 innings during any consecutive three-day period, nor may a player make more than four appearances as a pitcher during any consecutive three-day period. One pitch constitutes an inning pitched or an appearance.

 

thanks for rule

thanks.
In youth tournament ball it's easier. You have a director and index cards to record the IP (USSSA) or Outs (as in Nations baseball).

With HS games all over the state, it appears as though NC rules would be hard to enforce without automation. But with Virginia's rules, you'd need a flowchart or decision tree. And most importantly... a whole stable of pitchers in the 'pen.
