- Have someone count every pitch, separate from the scorebook, and compare totals with the official pitch counter at the end of each half-inning.
- Record each pitcher's total for the day and the date they can pitch again.
- Before each game, list who is eligible to pitch and who is eligible to catch, so you aren't working it out mid-inning.
- Warn your pitcher and catcher when a pitcher is approaching 20, 35, 40, 50 and 65 pitches, the counts where rest days or catching eligibility change.
