For those with an interest in reading a fairly recent article on the pitch count debate, the New York Times on August 7, 2009 contained an article entitled “Arms Control Breakdown.” Includes an interview with Dr. Andrews. Found at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08....html?pagewanted=all
Found one quote particularly interesting, that of Stan Conte, the Dodgers’ head athletic trainer.. “We look at a starting pitcher pitching once every five days — an older guy whose mechanics are good and, when everything’s right, throwing 100 to 110 pitches per week. And this is with years of training.”
