History

Historical Context

Baseball has long revised rules to balance competition and player health; the count evolved from varied ball limits in the 1870s to the standardized 3-2 count by the late 1880s. Building on that tradition, Major League Baseball introduced formal pitch-count limits in 2000 after the 1999 season’s excessive workloads, guiding managers like Aaron Boone in protecting pitchers today.
