redshirt

..for a chance to keep a projectable pitcher in the fold with two full years of JC eligibility going forward and the opportunity to work with and monitor progress in the mean time.  The "still physically maturing" aspect is a big part of the reasoning behind redshirting frosh year and adds to projectability.

In California is not uncommon to have 10+ "red shirts". There are several MLB players who were "red shirted" at a California J.C.

At SRJC, there are players who are playing now, that attend SSU full time, but they have the desire to play baseball so they attend both schools. They are taking their 12

classroom units at SSU and 12 units at the JC by internet.

SSU [Division 2] ranked Nationally in top 30 currently on the roster are 8 players who

were in D-1 last year and 12 players who are J.C. transfers.

For the "red shirt" THE KEY IS YOUR SUMMER COMPETITION.

No, not grades, but it is "too" many players and limited roster "spots".

SSU and SRJC each have over 100 players at their Fall tryouts.

When we travel to Australia each year, our teams will include 3-4 "red shirts".

PT [playing time] is the player's objective and many college coaches are honest with the player. A "red shirt" should learn the art of "self-teaching" to improve his skills.

I am now reading the book on the story of Hank Greenberg [Detroit Tigers]. A perfect example of self-teaching and inner motivation.

Proud;

I know of your J.C. team and yes, they are strong. Lemmie Miller former LA Dodgers outfielder and one of our American team coaches to the Goodwill Series in Japan and Korea was a coach at this school.

Is there a limit n the number of red shirts a D1 program can have per year?

"Redshirt" doesn't really have  defined meaning, but I'll assume that you mean a player who practices with the team, but doesn't play in any games.  In D1, only 35 may practice in the spring, so in a sense 26 (35-9 players) is the maximum number of redshirts.  In a practical sense, there is no limit, but it would be an unusual team that had as many as 15.
