Rule Changes for 2008

Here are the Little League rule changes for 2008.

Pitching Regulations

• Little League requires a pitch limit of 50 pitches per day for players ages 7 and 8. 
• A pitcher who is removed from mound, can’t play catcher for the rest of the day. 
• There must be at least one day of rest for a pitcher before he/she can pitch again.
