Why Our Pitch Counters and Clocks are Right for Your Program
Coaches and athletic directors know that tracking pitches is no longer optional—it is a mandatory safety requirement designed to protect developing arms from overuse injuries like UCL tears. Counting pitches in your head or on a messy piece of paper leads to dangerous miscalculations. Furthermore, as MLB's pace-of-play initiatives trickle down to collegiate and high school levels, enforcing time between pitches is becoming the new standard. Our 2026 collection equips your dugout and stadium with everything from highly affordable mechanical handheld counters for daily practice to massive, high-visibility digital pitch clocks that keep the pitcher, batter, and umpire completely synchronized.

Our heavy-duty mechanical Pitch Counters offer a satisfying, tactile click so you can track pitches without taking your eyes off the field. Need to track both teams?

- Digital Pitch Count Displays: Keep the entire stadium informed. The Ultrak PC-600 Pitch Count Display is a high-visibility electronic scoreboard dedicated entirely to pitch counts. Controlled easily via remote, it allows coaches, parents, and players to see exactly where a pitcher is in their daily limit without having to shout into the dugout.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it mandatory to use a pitch counter in youth baseball?
Medical professionals and baseball governing bodies (like Little League and NFHS) have established strict pitch-count limits for youth and high school pitchers. Exceeding these limits drastically increases the risk of severe elbow and shoulder injuries. A pitch counter ensures accurate, unquestionable tracking so coaches know exactly when it is time to pull a pitcher to protect their arm.
2. What is the advantage of a Dual Pitch Tally Counter?
A standard single pitch counter only tracks one number at a time. A Dual Pitch Tally Counter features two completely separate clickers and dials built into one handheld device. This allows a coach or team manager to easily track the pitch count for both the home team pitcher and the away team pitcher simultaneously.
3. Are pitch clocks now required for high school and college games?
Pitch clocks are officially required in NCAA collegiate baseball to enforce pace-of-play rules (such as the 20-second action clock). While not universally mandatory at the high school level yet, many state associations are beginning to adopt strict pace-of-play rules, making the installation of pitch clocks a smart, future-proof investment for high school stadiums.
4. Does the mechanical tally counter require batteries?
No. Our handheld Pitch Counters and Dual Pitch Tally Counters are completely mechanical. They rely on a reliable internal gear system that clicks forward with the press of your thumb. This means you never have to worry about a dead battery in the middle of the 6th inning.
5. How is the Ultrak PC-600 Pitch Count Display controlled?
The Ultrak PC-600 is controlled by a wireless remote. The operator can sit comfortably in the dugout or the press box, pushing a button after each pitch to update the large digital display facing the field or stands, keeping everyone perfectly updated on the current pitcher's workload.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for stadium electronics and pitch clocks?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and facility managers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase SEIKO pitch clocks, pitch count displays, and handheld counters for their entire athletic complex.
