High Schooler Throws 194 Pitches in a Single Game

A high school baseball player in Washington State threw 194 pitches over 14 innings Tuesday before being removed in the 15th inning of his team’s eventual 1-0 victory in its district tournament. 

Rochester High School starting pitcher Dylan Fosnacht struck out 17 and was pulled in the top of the 15th after the first two batters reached base. Dustin Wilson, who had been playing catcher, finished the 17-inning win over La Center High School and then pitched all seven innings of Rochester’s second game that day, a 5-3 victory over Elma High School.

“I have never seen two guys take the mound and dominate like that for that long,” assistant coach Kyle Sprague told MaxPreps.com. “I have both of those guys in class, and they both said that their arms were fine today.”

Many states impose innings or pitch limits on high school athletes. However, an official with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association told ESPN.com that the only rule her organization has is that pitchers who throw four or more innings in a day must be given two days off before pitching again.
