NSA & ASA Baseball Pitching Change Rules: FAQs & Clarifications

Question
We are playing NSA 10U. I've read the rule book and searched through it, but I cannot find any rules regarding changing pitchers. Does a new pitcher have to face one batter like baseball? If a player has already pitched in the game do they get warm-up pitches if re-entering in the middle of an inning? Any limit to how often a pitcher can be moved to the pitcher position in a game, inning? We will be playing some ASA as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi kirk,

I can only help you on the ASA, I'm sure someone will add nsa to the answer.  You might also have local rules that change national rules.

No in ASA a new pitcher does not have to face 1 batter,

a pitcher returning to pitch in the same 1/2 inning does not get warm ups.

there is no limit in either an inning or the game a pitcher can return to the pitching position as long as they are legally in the game.
