Reply to "In Game Coaching Decision"

About 10 years ago the question on this site would have been - can you believe coach had him throw 140 pitches.  Times have changed when a kid throwing 90=100 pitches generates a question about "overuse".

Of course 10 years ago there was zero pitching rules in HS and folks out here were passionately arguing "kids don't throw enough anymore".

I think it has become common wisdom (sense) that pitchers should pitch with a plan for how many pitches they will make and on what schedule.  We did this with 11 and 12 year olds way back when.

What happened in this scenario is a bad idea.  If he ended up with 15 or more pitches in game 2 and started closing in on 125 for the day then he would have been way out of bounds.
