Pitch Count Tracking

Dugout Master can track live pitch counts for whoever is assigned to the Pitcher position and warn you as they approach a limit.

The pitch count panel tracking pitches thrown and rest days

Pitch counting only appears once a max pitch count is set. You can set it two ways:

  • Season level — a default max that applies to every game in the season.
  • Game level (Pro+) — in the game’s Pitching Rules section, override the season max for just that game. Leave it at 0 to fall back to the season’s limit.

If neither is set, pitch counting is off and no controls are shown.

Tap the Pitcher position badge on the field diagram or in the lineup list to open the pitcher modal. It shows the assigned pitcher’s name and a stepper to log pitches (+1 / −1, or type a number directly). A quick −5 / +5 control is also available for fast adjustments.

Pitch counts are saved on the game and carry across innings — they aren’t reset each inning.

As a pitcher’s count climbs toward the limit:

CountStatus
≥ 70% of limitApproaching limit (X / Y) — warning
≥ 90% of limitApproaching limit (X / Y) — danger
Over the limitOver limit (X / Y)

An individual player can have their own pitch limit that overrides the game/season max whenever they pitch — useful for a player on a doctor’s restriction or a different age-bracket rule.

If your team has pitching rest rules enabled, the same pitcher modal also checks whether a player is eligible to pitch based on their recent pitch counts. If they’re not eligible yet, Dugout Master shows a warning before you can confirm them as the pitcher.
