I think most everyone has heard of the Game Changer app for score keeping, and last night I was using it for a scrimmage game trying to get used to it for the season. Well at the end of the game I go to finalize the score and it asks me to name the winning pitcher, losing pitcher etc. It got me thinking I don't know how you figure out a winning pitcher for youth baseball. I know in the pro's it's basically the pitcher with the lead after the 5th inning. But for my son's team(12u) we only play 6 or even less innings. Anyone want to share the guidelines they use if they keep such a stat? |

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense, just wasn't sure what some others were doing. |

Don't know that there is an official guideline for that. I made up my own. A starting pitcher only has to complete 2 innings, not 5, in order to qualify for a win. Again, my rule. You can do it however you want at the youth level as far as I'm concerned. I'd only say that you need to agree to a rule and apply it consistently, since it only affects members of your own team. |
