When should coaches update pitch counts?
Enter final pitch totals after the game from the official scorebook or trusted scoring source. The app then updates rest and availability.
How PitchTracker.app calculates rest
PitchTracker.app starts with final pitch totals and published pitch-count guidance, then shows coaches a practical availability state for each pitcher.
Inputs PitchTracker.app uses
The app uses the player age group, final pitches thrown, game date, team time zone, tournament context, and configured limits to determine how the player's status should appear to coaches.
- Final pitch count from the game log
- Age-based daily maximum and rest bands
- Team time zone for local rest-complete dates
- Tournament daily and event-wide guardrails when enabled
What the app does not decide
PitchTracker.app does not diagnose fatigue, predict injury, or replace league rules. If a league, tournament director, doctor, parent, or coach requires a stricter limit, use the stricter limit.
Frequently asked questions
Why does team time zone matter?
Rest windows are calendar-based. PitchTracker.app uses the team time zone so the displayed rest-complete date matches the team's local schedule.
