How do pitching coaches not have time? I really hate the argument that there isn't enough time to do anything with these kids. That's all they have is time. That's not to say that they don't have lives and they don't do any actual work but when your title is Pitching Coach and you don't have another job to go to - how do you not have time?
20 pitchers on a roster. 30 minutes with each of them once a week comes out to 10 hours. I have a hard time believing a Pitching Coach does not have 10 hours a week to work with his pitchers individually considering most people work 40+ hour weeks as the standard.
That's like a vet saying they don't have any time to look at sick animals.
To me it's a lazy excuse. The idea that the pitching coach doesn't have time to work with pitchers is a really weird and sad sentence.
