Question
can a switch hitter switch sides of the plate during the count? i cannot find this covered in the little league rule book

Answer
Stephencmcdaniel,

Sorry about the delay in answering...I was out of town.

After a hitter receives one pitch, he may not switch sides of the plate during that at bat.  Unless the pitcher is removed and a new pitcher is put into the game.

Hope this helps!
