I heard someone say, I think they were talking about high schools, when the pitcher has reached his pitch count, he is removed and his starting catcher also. Since the catcher had just as many pitches. Not that knowledgeable about current rules since Papaw and I coached about 100 years ago. Just curious.

 

Not true.

 

The logic doesn't make sense.

Thanks.

They should be made to forfeit the game

That's what happens if it's deemed they used an ineligible player, which a pitcher is considered if he's over pitch limit.

 

You going to tell us what situation you are talking about or just keep making angry posts about something that nobody has a clue that you are talking about?

This happened in the district tournament between UHA and Hoptown. UHA broke the rule but was still allowed to get the victory ending Hoptown's season.

Was it reported to the KHSAA?

 

Who was home team? Did they have the pitcher as over the limit?

After reading his tweets I have one question.

 

One tweet said the coach and umpire were notified on #120 and they came out to talk about it. Said the pitcher was allowed to finish pitching to that batter.

 

Did the pitcher then stay in the game after that batter?

Thats how I read that, if so then isnt the umpire to blame here as well?

Umpire has no responsibility in the pitch count or eligible/ineligible players.

It does say in a tweet he "struck out the next batter". I take that to mean he stayed in the game.

Umpire can't force a team to remove a pitcher.

I missed that. So the coach KNEW it was #120 and let him to pitch to a new batter. Not good.

So its a rule, but not enforceable by an umpire?
