What is the max pitch count for a 10 yr old?

i usually shut my kids down around 120, ymmv. if he wants a lower pitch count, tell him to throw more strikes - pretty simple

About 75 for a 10yo

350

350 pitches.

I need to know his K%, BB%, HR/9, BABIP, GB%, FIP, xFIP, and WAR first.

What's his fastball speed?

We can tell you if he's worth the time and effort.

A ten year old kid shouldn’t throw more than about 50-60 pitches and hopefully he stretches that out over several innings.

Depends on how many sliders I’m having my kids throw. I always make sure my 9-10 yo team has two dependable kids who can pump sliders in for strikes. Winning solution. We won the state championships in Slidell the last two years.

Why the fck would you ask the OT a question like this?

you usually get a few good answers

Depends upon the league, but USSSA, which a lot of these travel ball teams play in, says, for ages 7-12...

If you pitch more than 3 innings in a day, you cannot pitch the next day.

You cannot pitch more than 6 innings in a day.

You cannot pitch more than 8 innings in three days.

Note those are per day, not per game.

Number of pitches isn't a factor. That's my first problem with the current rules and why I think we are seeing a lot more injured kids. My second problem is that is the range for ages 7-12. I think that is too wide of a range... Hell the idea of 7-8 year olds pitching at all is insane to me.
