If your son is a pitcher, you can and should discuss with the Head Coach your opinion.

During our Area Code games one of the parents [a MD] mentioned that he and the Head Coach set a pitch count for his son, a 95 mph pitcher from Ohio.

I said that if I was the Coach I would agree. He would pitch the 4th -7th innings and I would drill the middle infield 30 minutes extra each day to make double plays to keep the pitch count down.

When we travel to Australia, Japan, Korea our coaches, all pro scouts or former MLB pitchers maintain a strong pitching formula. We also interview each pitcher as to his personal approach to his game. He will not catch, play shortstop, if he pitches.
