To comply with a national federation rule on mandatory pitch-count limits, the Hawaii High School Athletic Association has established guidelines for preseason and state tournament baseball games, according to state baseball coordinator Glenn Nitta.
Last July, the National Federation of State High School Associations set a mandatory pitch count for its state associations. While the HHSAA has set its own pitch count for state tournaments, the association has left it up to each league to establish its own. Each league must have a system in place before the HHSAA can sanction an event. For example, all inter-league games, such as in preseason, must be sanctioned by the HHSAA. The Oahu Interscholastic Association will follow the HHSAA's guidelines.
The daily maximum number of pitches has been set at 110.
Below are the guidelines that the HHSAA will use for the state tournament and preseason games.
