Chico Escuela posted:Is it fair to assume some college coaches are more conscientious about / aware of arm care than others (at least when it comes to inning and pitch counts)? Any suggestions on how to get info about coaches' tendencies in that regard? It is something I have wondered about as my son starts having more contacts with coaches.
If I have a P, my suggestion is this...
Not worth doing too much digging until you reach the point where you have some level of mutual interest. At that point, contact P's who were recently in the program and ask questions about the level of P coaching, workout regimens and certainly how P's are used (and/or overused). That last question can be framed in a more politically correct way like "what challenges did you face with keeping your arm fresh in this particular program?". Of course, I would also look at recent years stats, viewing each P with a fair amount of IP, as it relates to days rest between appearances, etc.
