Reply to "And Hello 2019 Summer Ball Recruiting"

Once a college starting pitcher gets over 40-45 innings, summer shutdown or an innings limit is likely. BUT,we have had pitchers that threw 50 plus innings sent out for the summer because the coach wanted them to get more exposure. There may be an innings limit of course. I have seen some D III coaches send starters out with no limits, just asking for common sense. A good D-1 pitcher with 45-50 innings will likely be shut down or very limited but D 2 and 3 coaches are more willing so their pitchers can get exposure.    The "perfect" summer arm is a very talented freshman that is red-shirted because the staff is already loaded (think something like U. of Florida).   We had a pitcher from Florida one summer that was the league's best by  season's end. Had only thrown 10 innings for UF. He went back to UF the next season and only threw about 10 innings as a junior...and was drafted in the 20th round by the Dodgers.
