Takano Ren = Japan High School Baseball Federation officially decided on the 29th Board of Directors to introduce a limit on the number of pitches per pitcher within 500 per week starting from next year's Sembatsu High School Baseball.

As for the limit on the number of balls, an expert meeting of Takano Ren, which includes baseball leaders, doctors and university researchers, will raise the pitch of one pitcher within 500 per week from next year's spring Sembatsu tournament this month. We submitted report to restrict to Takano Ren.

In response, Takano Ren held a board meeting in Nishi-ku, Osaka on the 29th, and unanimously decided to introduce a limit on the number of balls as reported by the expert meeting.

In addition, if the limit is reached during the match, the batter who throws the 500th ball will be replaced after the batting is completed, and the number of pitches of the game that has become a no-game or rematch due to rain etc. is also limited to 500 Detailed rules such as adding to are also established.

In addition to a three-year trial period starting from next year's Senbatsu tournament, the number of balls will be included in the decision on the 29th.

Takano Ren's chairman Eiji Hatta said, “High school baseball has taken a new first step. This has had an impact on juvenile baseball pitching restrictions, indicating that the entire baseball world is working to prevent pitchers from being disabled. In that sense, it is meaningful to introduce a limit on the number of balls. "

Also, at the Board of Directors meeting on the 29th, we decided to introduce “Declaration Refusal”, which we had been considering so far, in the spring of next year, so that even if the pitcher does not throw the ball, the team can refrain from just showing its intention. became.

Intensive school

With regard to the limit on the number of balls, some strong schools are actively working to prevent injury to pitchers.

In Osaka, which has won its first national high school baseball championship in summer, there are currently 17 pitchers for both first and second graders.

Until now, each pitcher reported the number of balls verbally to the director and coach after practicing pitching with a bullpen.

From this fall, we made a thorough record of how many throws were made according to the situation such as games, bullpens and batting practice.

In addition, I am also filling in the physical condition felt by the person.

In addition, we have introduced genetic tests to analyze the muscle characteristics, strength of bones and joints of each athlete, and the ease of feeling pain, and use it for athlete health management and training.

Ryusei Okada's director Okada Tatsuo said, “We have seen a number of players who have been injured even if they have high abilities. They have been managing various things to prevent this from happening. I want you to take care of your body. "

Does it affect the player's thin public high and low?

Some public high schools, which are said to have less players than private high schools, have a complicated idea that “the main pitcher will not be able to climb, and the outcome will change” The

Mie Kanno High School is a prefectural high school that participates in Koshien once in the spring and twice in the summer, and has produced eight professional baseball players including the pitcher Yuki Nishi of Hanshin.

In addition, the team's ace has been appointed for three years in a professional baseball draft meeting.

The manager, 57-year-old Naomi Toda, who has led the team for 32 years has been managing the number of pitchers thrown in practice and practice games since 15 years ago to prevent injury from throwing too much.

The current team has 14 pitchers for both 1st and 2nd graders. On weekdays, they practice pitching with bullpen up to twice a week.

Intensive throwing is prohibited and we are instructing not to exceed 80 balls a day.

Also, in a weekend practice game, one pitcher can throw more than 100 balls in one game, but there is no continuous throw for two consecutive days.

In addition, all 14 pitchers have practiced pitching with bullpen, and how many innings, how many balls were thrown in the game, how many kilometers the straightest was, and so on.

Director Toda says, “High school baseball has only two and a half years, so I want to throw it in the game without breaking down. I take care of the process until the official game.”

On the other hand, in the official game, it is said that “I am practicing for the goal of winning on a daily basis”.

Although Toda has shown a certain understanding of the limitation of the number of balls in the official game, public high schools have a complicated view because they have fewer players than private high schools.

Toda said, “It is better to have more than one pitcher, but there are cases where it is not possible due to team conditions at public high schools, and even if there are multiple pitchers, there are many main players. Because there are changes, there is a place to think for a moment. "
