Well as  I mentioned before after 9 years of HS baseball....... In the beginning of the season all is fine.... then when the pressure to win comes into play he makes game time decisions that are not in the interest of the players long term care.

I am not telling him when to pitch 2018 just that if we are early in the season and beating a team 10-0 in the fourth inning take him out.  Let another pitcher get some exp.  Last year we had many pitchers , this year we have 1 maybe 2  and a bunch of younger pitchers.

I suspect your kid is #1 and there is, in polite terms, a "significant drop off" after him.  Hopefully some of the others will step up and perhaps the game schedule will work in his favor.  Hopefully he can get those 80 in over the 100 days and not have 70 of them in the last half of the season.  I suggest that once he gets to 65 pitches in a game that he throws at least 11 more - don't want him getting pulled right at 75 on the dot.
