Momsteam.com has a breakdown of the new, 2010, pitching rules for Little League. These rules are an update from changes made in 2007. In essence, Little League is trying to cut down on pitching related injuries. To do this, they are limiting the number of pitches and increasing the rest time for pitchers.
