It was the coach who was 0-3, not the pitcher.
However, if a kid says his arm hurts while pitching, he shouldn't be asked to pitch any more.

Except.... I do know of one kid who at every tournament complained of his arm hurting while he was pitching, but he'd go ahead and pitch whiffle balls between games to his teammates. He told me later that he just didn't like the pressure of pitching in games. Why use a kid at pitcher if he doesn't like doing it?
