Appropriate age for 12 year old pitchcount?

Question

i need to know how many pitches i should throw daily so i can get a stronger arm. I use to have a really strong arm but i dont know what happened. If i pitch a lot what shoul i do after to make sure my arm isnt sore all week

Answer 1

Little League instituted the following pitching rules last year for kids.

0 to 20 pitches - no rest

21 to 40 pitches - 1 day rest

41 to 60 pitches - 2 days rest (plus one game)

61 to 85 pitches - 3 days rest (plus one game)

85 pitches is the max allowed.

To strengthen the arm you should be doing stretching and more long toss than excessive pitching.
