USSSA pitching rules and defensive conferences

[Dave Reed]

The following link will take you to the USSSA baseball site and the 2006 rules.

You should read these because there are significant limitations on the number of innings a player may pitch. Here in Northern California, pitching logs are kept, and signed by opposing coaches and one umpire after each game. It is unfortunately common to see a team disqualified for improperly using a pitcher.

For what it is worth, I watch a lot of USSSA games, usually featuring one of my sons, and I have never seen a pitcher return to the mound after being pulled. In Southern California, the rules explicitly state that a pitcher may not return.
