Reply to "How often should a HS freshman throw"

My son is a freshman playing ss and pitching on his varsity team. For what it's worth, he's tall and thin and throws pretty hard. When he is not pitching, he plays ss. He has pitched twice this season with success throwing around 50 pitches total to close out two games. The coach it seems will be starting to use him more frequently on the mound (he asked him if he wanted the start the other day). My question is, regarding arm care, how many pitches should I benchmark him throwing this season considering he's playing ss during non-pitching days?
Personally, I've targeted around 1200 for the entire spring and summer travel season and I could see that eaten up very quickly. I'm a little concerned about over use. Are there other issues I should consider as well?
