Reply to "Pitch counts and building up to a game"

Speaking of pitch counts in HS baseball, here is an example of what NOT to do, from my home state:

This HS senior pitcher threw 122 pitches in a complete game win for his team, in the semifinal game of the State tourney. I have no problem with 122 pitches at the end of a season. The only problem is - he came back the very next day to start the State championship game, throwing 5 innings. Yikes!!!

"Borchardt, who pitched a complete game win in Thursday's quarterfinals against Eden Prairie, allowed nine hits, struck out four and walked three (Friday). He battled through a sore arm that had bothered him since Thursday."
