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.
Its on you, why did you allow it?
Thats the issue maybe, parents are afraid if they say something their son will not be in the game. Your son is being used that way because he is good.
Protect your pitcher.
