A 20 year old throwing 90 innings in a college season would almost certainly be within that range. Also, if those 90 innings are distributed over a D1 season, it works out to less than 8 innings per week, which is almost certainly in the ballpark of recommended pitch limits.

The typical D1 program uses about 15-18 pitchers to get about 1500 outs in the season. That's manageable, even with high variation in the number of innings pitched by each pitcher

That ideolgy seems sound, though I'd be curious to see how those ratios play out if you factor in bullpen sessions/split-squad scrimmages during the fall and spring, not to mention the work load taken on in summer leagues. I guess the question is "how do you characterize a competitive pitch, as it relates to stress on the arm?
