| If you go out to pull a pitcher, does that count as a mound visit according to GA HS rules?? |

A mound visit is counted as a visit....once a new pitcher is declared a new pitcher, you're allowed one visit to him, then the 2nd visit to that pitcher he has to be pulled.

| No. If you pull the pitcher, it doesn't count as a visit. |

| No it does not count if the pitcher is pulled. |

I thought in high school you got 3 visits and every visit after the 3rd visit you have to change pitchers. |

westcoastguru,
You are referring to MLB rules, which a lot of tournaments play by. But to be specific to ecbpappi's question about GA HS rules which uses NFHS rules:
http://www.eteamz.com/baseball/rules/fed/pitching/rule.cfm/Conferences/
40. A coach may have three charged conferences during a game. The coach may use them at any time, including making two trips to the mound while the same batter is at the plate.
41. On the fourth charged conference the pitcher must be removed from the mound for the duration of the game. He may be moved to another position.
42. Whenever a pitcher is removed, the coach is not charged with a conference.

| I've seen several "variations". I'm sure someone smarter will correct me, but I think it's 3 visits per game, the 3rd you have to pull the pitcher and then every visit after that the pitcher has to be pulled. If you pull the pitcher before the 3rd visit, it doesn't count as a visit. |

| This must be a new rule....It just wasn't that way in the early 2000's when I was in HS. We had a lefty in LF that would come in for one batter and go back to the OF 2-3 times a game. There is NO NEED for all these rules, all they do is make a simple game even more confusing. If stalling is that big of a deal then we need longer games. |

There are no time limits on HS games. I'm pretty sure the rule in HS is that a starting pitcher can come back in to pitch later in the game, but relievers cannot. I don't know that it has anything to do with stalling. |

Spartan4,
I don't know that I have ever heard of that being legal. Not even all the way back to the mid-70's when I played LL.
Rules keep the game fair for all parties. Free substitution is for football.  |

| It wasn't HS ball, I asked my buddy about it and he said it only worked in certain tourneys. I guess I was wrong but I just remember it so vividly because it always caused drama. It was legal for the starter to return in HS. I don't believe in any kind of free substitution, but a pitcher is just another position. Our pitcher would go to LF and the LF would come in to pitch to a batter, no substitution done. |
