The purpose of this paper is to examine the current status and issues in introducing ball-count limits in high-school baseball. 13 coaches and 109 members of baseball clubs in five public and five private high schools in the Kanto region, were surveyed on whether they agreed or disagreed with the introduction of ball-count limits, what are the reasons, and whether the limits were appropriate. The results of the survey showed that for the coaches, 38% were agreed, 54% were disagreed, and 8% were neither. The reasons for agreement were "Protecting the body", " Balanced training of players" and "Increasing pitching opportunities," while the reasons for disagreement were " Teams with a large player base will be advantageous," and "Unable to pitch in important games. While for the members, the results showed that, 43% were agreed and 57% were disagreed.
