Whew, I am happy after 9 years of HS baseball , this is the last year. Will I miss it... not really.
I just had a meeting with the HS coach, I suggested that 2018 throw no more than 48 innings with a pitch count of 80 .... once he hits 80 pitches he's out... once he throws 48 innings he's done. Counting warm up and between innings that's well over 5000 pitches in the span of 100 days.
He was not overly thrilled at the idea.

Can you provide the math on the 5000? 48 innings does seem somewhat light over the course of 15 weeks and the 5000/48 combo infers 100 pitches per inning to include pre-game, inning warm up and actual live pitches.

Assuming 15 starts (1x week), 5 innings per game with 75 pitches/game gets me to somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 on the top end. What am I missing? Mid-week bullpens?
