Good morning fans of the diamond. After the post I made about the pitch counters I received 3 phone calls and 2 messages and two customers this morning have told me stories about pitch counts. Parents, you need to take part in taking care of your pitchers arm. There are a few things that go into varying pitch counts. #1 Physical Conditioning AND arm conditioning. I am not talking about long toss either, that does nothing for pitching. #2 Signs of fatigue. Sometimes a kid can be done in 30 pitches because he just does not have it that day. Other times he can go 100 pitches. #3 Control. When a pitchers control starts to go, he is getting tired. #4 Upright trunk through release. If he has been following through the whole game and is all of the sudden not following through, get him out. But by far the majority of the time, people have no clue how many actual pitches a kid is throwing and that includes the coaches. Please parents, do your part to take care of your pitchers arm!
