Reply to "VHSL Pitching Policy for 2014"

Proposed change to VHSL Policy - example not all edits.  This makes it clear that you need all 4 days of rest to pitch to the limit AND updates definitions.  What it doesn't do is clairfy whether, for example, pitching 2-3 innings after 3 days of rest earns you an additional day of rest (earn 1 but still have 1 left from pitching 7 = total of 2).  From all examples provided by VHSL, it doesn't.  Maybe it should.  It does in one part of the rile but not here.

 

56-4-2 Pitching Regulations-For the purposes of this rule, delivery of one pitch constitutes having pitched in one inning and having pitched in competition. In addition, days of rest are days in which the pitcher does not pitch in competition. The following provisions apply to regular season as well as post season play.

...

(4) If a pitcher pitches four to seven innings in one day that pitcher shall have two calendar days of rest from competition pitching beginning with the day following the first day a pitch is thrown. Further restrictions regarding this section include:

 

(a) After two days of rest a pitcher may pitch a maximum of two innings,

(b) After three days of rest a pitcher may pitch a maximum of three innings,

(c) Only aAfter four days of rest may a pitcher may pitch to the limit of the rule.
