Okay, so today I wanted to figure out the whole NCAA pitch count rules thing. It’s been bugging me, and I figured, why not just dive in and get my hands dirty?

Getting Started
First, I grabbed my laptop and opened up my browser. I started with a simple search, just typing in “NCAA pitch count rules.” I figured the NCAA website would be the best place to start, so I looked for their official page.
Digging Through the Rules
I found the rulebook, but man, it was dense! Lots of legal jargon and stuff I didn’t really need. I skimmed through it, looking for anything related to pitch counts. It took a while, and I had to read a few sections multiple times to really understand what they were saying.
Making Sense of It All
I started to jot down some notes on a piece of paper, trying to simplify the rules in my own words. I focused on the key points: like, how many pitches a pitcher can throw in a game, and how much rest they need based on the number of pitches.
- I tired use search engine.
- I Wrote down key information.
Putting it to the Test (Sort Of)
I don’t have a baseball team to test this on, but I tried to imagine some game scenarios. Like, if a pitcher throws this many pitches on Monday, when can he pitch again? I worked through a few examples, using my notes and the rulebook to double-check my thinking.
Finally Understanding!
After a couple of hours of reading, note-taking, and thinking, I finally felt like I had a pretty good grasp on the rules. It wasn’t easy, and I definitely had to work at it, but it was great to be able to finally make some sense of something that had been confusing me.
So, that’s how I spent my afternoon! Not the most glamorous activity, but it felt good to learn something new and tackle a problem head-on.
