Step one
Count the pitch
One thumb, eyes on the field. Quick-count when you just need the number, full game when you're keeping the book, pitch-mix when you're tracking types. Undo fixes a miscount without leaving the at-bat.

Know who can throw—and when.
Every counter gives you a number. Mound Ready gives you what the number costs — the working limit, the rest it buys, and the next day that arm is eligible.

Little League · verified
A demonstration of the engine — the same math the live counter runs in the dugout, on the same presets. Tiers and daily maximums are built from each organization's published document. Advisory only: rules change, and confirming them with your league is still your job.
How it works
Three things happen every time a pitcher throws.
The app is built around that order, because that's the order a coach needs them in — the count first, the consequence second, the record last.
Step two
See what it costs
It runs the chart rather than just showing it to you. When the tiers say three days, he's marked Resting for three days and the app won't quietly let you start him — and the next eligible date is on screen before you decide, not after.
Step three
Keep the record
Every outing stores a snapshot of the rule preset that governed it, so the record still makes sense in August. Season view, scheduled games, and bullpen sessions live in the same place.
What's in it
Built for the dugout, not the desk.
Three live modes
Quick-count, full game, and pitch-mix — plus Quick Track, which starts counting with no setup when the game's already moving.
A demo before you sign up
The app ships a read-only demo with a seeded roster, so you can see how counting and eligibility behave before you make an account.
The staff at a glance
Ready, resting, or done for today — the whole roster on one screen, before you write the lineup instead of after.
Works with no signal
Counts are recorded on the phone first. A dead Wi-Fi hotspot, a concrete dugout, or an app the system kills mid-inning doesn't cost you a pitch — it syncs when the phone comes back.
The Watch counts too
Not a read-only mirror. Tap the Apple Watch to add a pitch, long-press the count to undo, and commit ball, strike, foul, in play, or HBP right from your wrist — each with its own haptic, so you can keep your eyes on the field. A Live Activity and a watch-face complication keep the running count in view between pitches.
The record is yours
Per-outing CSV and image exports, a full-account JSON archive, and account deletion that's immediate and permanent.
The rules engine
Your league's chart, already loaded.
55 built-in presets — six national organizations and 49 state high-school associations — each one naming the document its numbers came from. Or build your own for a house league, travel ball, or a tournament.

Custombuild your own chart
Not a lookup table.
The picker at the top of this page runs these charts against the same count — two national rulebooks, or your own state association. Change it and the rest tiers, the daily max, and the verdict change with it, because the rulebooks genuinely disagree and the engine reads each one rather than averaging them. Pick a state below and it loads up there.
New York — NYSPHSAA
Three charts, one season.
New York doesn't publish a pitch-count chart. It publishes three — March, April, and May–June each get their own — and which one governs depends on the month you're in. The engine moves with the season.
Delaware — DIAA
The chart flips on the sixth game.
Not on a date, on a contest count. Delaware also carries a doubleheader rule that turns on per-inning pitch counts, which the app doesn't track — so it says so on screen rather than quietly skipping it.
Find yours.
Every state high-school association that publishes a pitch-count rule, by name.
Why 49? Wyoming's association doesn't sanction high-school baseball, so there's no published rule to ship. When there's no rule, we don't invent one.
Every preset names its source document and ships marked verified or provisional, so you can see which kind you're looking at. Every saved outing snapshots the rule context that governed it — editing a preset later can't rewrite what August already recorded.
The honesty rule
What it doesn't do.
We'd rather tell you what we don't enforce than imply a guarantee we can't deliver. Mound Ready terms of service
- It doesn't predict injury. Pitch counts and rest days are one input into safe pitching. Mechanics, fatigue, growth, and year-round throwing volume aren't in this app and stay yours to watch.
- It doesn't enforce every rule. It holds a pitcher for daily maximums, required rest, consecutive days, cumulative caps, appearance limits, doubleheaders, and chart changes. It doesn't model innings limits, out counts, tournament totals, season volume, or pitch-type guidance — and it names the ones it skips on the screen where you start an outing.
- It isn't a compliance authority. Presets were built from published documents at the time. Rules change and we may not have the newest revision. Confirming the current rules with your league is part of the job.
- It doesn't make the call. The app gives you the evidence, the consequence, and the working limit. Whether he throws the next pitch is a coach's decision, not an app's.
Who it's for
One instrument, two seats.
Coaches
You're recording pitches one-handed while watching the game, and you need to know before the sixth inning whether the arm you want on Saturday is still available. Roster, staff availability, schedule, and bullpen sessions in one app.
Parents
Same instrument, scoped to one arm. Track your pitcher across teams and seasons when nobody else is keeping the whole picture. Travel ball, rec, and school can run three different rulebooks over the same arm — the app holds all three.
Privacy
Your roster is yours.
No ads. No behavioral tracking.
No advertising, no behavioral profiling, no analytics built to follow you. Your data is never sold or shared with advertisers, leagues, or scouting services. Crash diagnostics are the only thing sent, and they aren't tied to your roster.
Players don't sign in
Accounts are for adults — coaches and parents. Players have no accounts, no profiles, and no way to interact with the app. There are no leaderboards and no public profiles.
Delete means delete
Deleting your account removes it and its records immediately, and can't be undone — no soft delete, no recovery window. Limited traces can persist in backups and provider logs until they expire on their own; the privacy policy says exactly which.
Count the first pitch.
Mound Ready is in TestFlight with internal testers today, and external invites open next. Join the list and you'll hear when they do. There's a read-only demo inside the app too, so you can look around before you make an account.
