A pitcher in Baseball must adhere to several key rules, primarily outlined in the official baseball rulebook. These include rules regarding the pitcher's stance, delivery, and how they interact with the bases and batters. Specific rules govern actions such as balks, the number of steps allowed off the mound, and the use of substances on the ball. While there isn't a fixed number of rules specifically for pitchers, many guidelines exist to ensure fair play and maintain the game's integrity.
