Reply to "Pitching Injuries"

Some of the injuries to pitchers happen because of the ignorance of pitch counts.

Our high school coach had my son throw 125 pitches and 140 pitches in two separate games. Supposedly this coach was a pitcher in a small college during his younger days.

Now compound this with kids playing in the field after pitching or pitching in one game and catching in the next.

I think as parents we need to make a hard stand about this. It's not easy being the bad guy especially with larger schools who have more kids to choose from.
