I would like to see more stringent guidelines adopted by UIL for pitchers that would be mandated.

There is no reason for parents or kids to have to be the "bad guy".

Would you recommend these guidelines be the same for a freshman at 14-15 and a senior at 17-18?

There has to be, IMO a physical/biological development consideration.

I think, for the purpose of enforcement, the rules for pitch count should be kept as simple as possible. I'm not saying my dream is the best but we have to start somewhere.
