Japan takes a step to limit the work of high school pitchers:
MyWorldOfBaseball.com
A pitcher may not start another inning if he has thrown more that 100 pitches. It is still unclear whether he can pitch the next day but it is a start. Gone will be the tournaments in which a pitcher throws 881 pitches in six games, such as Kosei Yoshida did last year. Depending on the rule he may now be limited to 600 pitches unless they also have provisions that require a couple days rest between outings.
The author hopes this leads to forcing high school coaches to develop more pitchers.
