Its OK if a kid has no plans of hoping to make a career of it but if he does its a whole different issue.

This coach is going to be horribly vilified. I’ve read conflicting opinions on whether a high number of throws is a good or bad thing, but it is generally still frowned upon.

The Espen recently did a story on the increasing amount of Tommy John surgeries the last few years.

Pitching is the 2nd most demanding job in sports, after Quarterbacking.

Abuse for no reason.

Hell, back when I pitched we didn’t even count ‘em.

I'm surprised the state doesn't have a pitching limit. In MO a pitcher is limited to10 innings in a 3 day period. No pitch count limit, just innings.

I coached hs baseball for 25 years and can't imagine myself, or any of my friends in the profession allowing a pitcher to throw almost 200 pitches.

Throw in his pregame and between innings and he threw well over 250.

Given that the young man probably threw 50-60 pitches to warm up for the game and 105 warmup pitches during the game between innings (seven per inning x 15), the actual wear on his arm was a lot higher.
