Little League Pitch Count Calculator
Enter a pitcher's league age and pitches thrown to get the official daily maximum and required calendar days of rest before pitching again.
Informational only — confirm eligibility with your league's official regulations and local officials before making pitching decisions.
The official limits
Assumptions
- Little League Baseball regular-season rules, 2026 season. Tournament (All-Star) play, Little League Softball, and other organizations (PONY, Cal Ripken, USSSA, high school) use different limits.
- Rest days are calendar days, and pitches thrown to finish a batter after reaching the daily maximum still count toward the rest requirement.
- Little League also bars any player from pitching on three consecutive days, and restricts moving between pitcher and catcher in the same day (see FAQ) — this calculator does not track multi-day usage.

Frequently asked questions
How is a player's league age determined?
Little League publishes an official age chart each season; for baseball, league age is the player's age as of August 31 of the current year, which often differs from their age on game day. Confirm with the official Little League Baseball age chart before applying pitch limits.
Do these limits apply to All-Star tournament play?
This calculator uses Little League's regular-season pitching rules. The International Tournament (All-Stars) has its own pitching eligibility regulations in the tournament rulebook, so confirm limits with tournament officials before assuming a pitcher is eligible.
What if a pitcher reaches the limit in the middle of an at-bat?
A pitcher who reaches the daily maximum while facing a batter may keep pitching until that batter reaches base, that batter is retired, or the third out is made. Every pitch thrown still counts toward the day's total and the rest-day requirement.
Can a pitcher move to catcher, or a catcher pitch, in the same game?
Little League ties the two positions together: any player who catches four or more innings is not eligible to pitch that calendar day, and a player who caught three innings or fewer, then pitched 21 or more pitches (31 or more for league age 15–16), may not return to catcher that calendar day.
