NWL Pitching Guidelines
In an effort to most liken the Northwoods League to the entry levels of Professional Baseball the League has implemented the following pitching guidelines :
A pitcher : Cannot begin a new inning after throwing 100 pitches or more . Cannot face a new batter after throwing 110 pitches or more . In the event a starting pitcher has not allowed a hit , he will not be allowed to begin a new inning after throwing 120 pitches or more . Following an appearance in which a pitcher throws :
100 or more pitches , he must have five full days of rest prior to his next appearance in a game . Between 85-99 pitches , he must have four full days of rest prior to making an appearance in a game . 50 pitches or more he must have two full days of rest prior to making an appearance in a game as a pitcher . If a pitcher throws 35 or more pitches in one inning , he will not be allowed to return for the next inning or the remainder of the game .
A pitcher cannot make appearances in more than two consecutive days . The official scorer will have final say with regard to pitch counts .
A game in which a team ( s ) is in violation of the Pitching Guidelines shall result in the win from that game being removed and replaced with a loss for the offending team ( s ). The non-offending team will have their loss taken away but they will not be given a win .
All statistics from the game will remain with the exception of the WON / LOSS record .
Extra Innings Rule
Section 10 . For all regular season games but not including playoff games , all extra innings , which are defined as beginning in the 10th inning and each subsequent inning of the game thereafter , will begin with a runner on second base . The runner at second base will be the player in the batting order position previous to the leadoff batter of the inning ( or a substitute for that player ). By way of example , if the number five hitter in the batting order is due to lead off the 10th inning , the number four player in the batting order ( or a pinchrunner for such player ) shall begin the inning on second base . Any runner or batter removed from the game for a substitute shall be ineligible to return to the game , as is the case in all circumstances under the Official Playing Rules .
For purposes of calculating earned runs , the runner who begins an inning on second base pursuant to this rule shall be deemed to be a runner who has reached second base because of a fielding error , but no error shall be charged to the opposing team or to any player . The loss in such extra-inning games still counts against the pitcher .
