Welcome to the 2019 Valley District JBO Season!

  

 Rain Out/Inclement Weather Decisions:
Please check the comments section of your scheduled game before calling about rain outs. Rain out decisions will be made by the home association by 3:00 p.m. on game days and sooner if extreme weather conditions exist. The home association is responsible for contacting both the visiting association (administrator) as well as the visiting team coach no later than 3:00 p.m on weeknights and no less than 3 hours prior to the scheduled game start on weekends. Two teams playing one another from the same association may make a decision on a game later than the 3pm decision deadline.

Exception #1: A pitcher reaching the maximum daily pitch count limit in the middle of an at bat is allowed to finish that batter without penalty.

Exception #2: A pitcher reaching a day(s) of rest threshold in the middle of an at bat is allowed to finish that batter. The pitcher will only be required to observe the calendar day(s) of rest for the threshold he/she reached during that at-bat, providing that pitcher is removed before delivering a pitch to another batter.

At all levels of play, in a double-header league contest, a pitcher may pitch in 2 games in the same day, provided they do not pitch more than 20 pitches (Midgets/Juniors) or 30 pitches (Seniors) in the first game.

 Days of Rest:  1 calendar day = 1 day of rest.

Example: if a Midget level pitcher throws more than 56 pitches on Tuesday, he may not pitch again until Saturday.

Example: if a Midget pitcher throws 48 pitches on Monday, he may not pitch again until Thursday.

Example: If a Midget  division pitcher throws 20 pitches or less on Tuesday, he may the next day.

 Monitoring Process:

Each team’s scorekeeper or designated official tracks the pitch counts. After each half inning, the scorekeepers confer with each other. If there is a conflict, home book’s count becomes official. It is the head coach’s responsibility to know when his/her pitcher needs to be removed. Pitch counts for each pitcher are logged on the game card, which is signed by each coach at the conclusion of the game.
