Why Pitchkount
With the NFHS requiring all states to implement pitch count rules, this has created a number of issues for coaches that go beyond just counting pitches. Each day of the season, there are now eligible and ineligible pitchers and it’s crucial that coaches know the exact status of both their pitchers and their opponent’s. Not having this information could result in a forfeit because a coach inadvertently uses an ineligible pitcher or possibly a loss because they didn’t know the opposing team was using an ineligible pitcher.
Coaches need a simple to use, easy to follow system that removes human error in determining mandatory days of rest and puts the pitcher availability information right at their fingertips. This is no small task, but precisely what PitchKount does and why it’s so valuable.
Plus, PitchKount doesn’t change anything in the dugout. Coaches can continue to score their games with electronic scoring apps or a traditional scorebook and count pitches just as they always have. After games, PitchKount uses the game data to automatically provide coaches with all the information they need to effectively manage their pitchers and avoid infractions.

PitchKount provides each player with an Individual Player Card detailing the dates he pitched and the number of pitches thrown. It lists the dates in chronological order and season by season.

Quite the contrary, it reduces it. As a cloud based, independent application that does not require any type of download or software installation, PitchKount provides a low-touch, comprehensive solution to managing pitch count rules. Coaches and Athletic Associations won’t be tasked with record keeping, verifying data or determining required days of rest. PitchKount will lessen the load on coaches and Athletic Associations.
Teams within each state and specific Athletic Association are grouped together so that the correct set of rules are applied.
PitchKount is updated each year and schools that change to a different Athletic Association are moved within the system to reflect this change.
Each year, the PitchKount system is updated with each Athletic Association’s current rules. So, as rules change and evolve over time, so will PitchKount!
Absolutely. Within PitchKount, each team is linked with their home state and specific Athletic Association. It doesn’t matter who a team plays– once data for a team has been verified and recorded, that team’s specific set of rules are applied. So, you can play a team from another state or even another Athletic Association and your rules will apply to your team while your opponent’s rules will apply to their team.
No. PitchKount doesn’t change what you do in the dugout at all. Whether you use an electronic scoring application, a tradional scorebook, a pitch count chart and/or a hand-held clicker, you can keep right on doing that.
Despite its name, PitchKount is not an in-game application. Rather, it’s a software system used after games to collect the pitch count data and instantly convert it into the actionable information you need.
