I know that some on this board will say that going 148 pitches is OK...but that has never been and will never be my philosophy.

Pitching is a tearing down process. The elevated mound causes loss of strength in the legs. In the later innings, once a pitcher loses his legs, he immediately induces more stress on his shoulder and elbow.

Even a pie thrower (an 18 year old lefty who throws 75-78), who most people say "can throw forever", needs to come out at some point.

Another factor we consider during the summer is how much a pitcher threw for his high school team in the spring.
