One of the problems with this subject is a complete misunderstanding about the number of pitches thrown with no runners on as opposed to runners on, which normally equates to throwing from the stretch. Since 2007, for our HS team I’ve scored 14,800 at bats with 52,250 pitches. Of them, 7,900 with 27,830 pitches have been with runners on. That would lead even a dullard to understand that more pitches are thrown from the stretch than not, but how often do pitchers warm up or throw pens from the stretch?
