Reply to "Pitching in the Maryland"

You all are nailing it! I have kids in my neighborhood, 10 years old, who are playing on travel teams that "claim" to play about 60 games a season. It is late May, and I see the some of their eye's roll when I ask if they have baseball tonight. When I was coaching in high school, our top man had two rules for pitchers. #1 was showing the ability as a freshman to locate 2 pitches (fastball and change). #2 was freshman pitchers be limited to 80 pitches per outing. Their was no negotiating these 2 rules, and I believe the rules helped the youngsters in their development and overall baseball health.
