My concern is my son is not throwing enough to stay healthy/sharp and what I should be doing with him between starts. Last year my son pitched 44 innings and averaged 15 pitches/inning. This year he has thrown 9 innings and 110 pitches (12 pitches/inning). His last tournament he pitched 4 innings (49 pitches) on Saturday , DHed for 1 game, played 1B for a game, and played 3B for a game. He is pretty efficent. But next practice isn't until Thursday and he will throw a 5 batter bullpen before pitching again this Saturday.
