New Rule (2013)

Completion of pitching to batter: If a pitcher reaches the pitch-count limit for their age, or 

day(s) of rest threshold while facing a batter, the pitcher may continue to pitch until the batter 

reaches base, the batter is retired, or the third out is made to complete the half-inning. The 

pitcher will only be required to observe the calendar day(s) of rest for the threshold he/she 

reached during that at-bat, provided that pitcher is removed before delivering a pitch to another 

batter.
