Best Answer

There is not set number of pitches before a ball is removed from the game. A ball is removed after it is scuffed, knocked out of round, or becomes too dirty. In Major League Baseball, many balls are removed and replaced by new ones, while in minor league, or amateur ball, sometime, balls that have been removed from the game may be placed back into play after being cleaned.
