You'll need one at each field. I've only been involved with one babe Ruth league but that league played at a park with 6 fields. That's 6 more people you have to pay for each game. My experience is that the scorekeepers are typically cute little HS girls who have enough trouble keeping up with the score (and texting their boy friend). How the hell are they expecting them to pay attention to every pitch? I'm not saying that using a pitch count is bad, just the opposite, I just see the enforcement being a nightmare.

We use Gamechanger, makes keeping the book and pitch counts easy.

There's an issue. Youth sports should be volunteer (except for the umpires). I hate that it has become a business.

Pitch counts will be monitored by volunteers. Just as scorekeepers are volunteers. It's just rec ball.
