Here's another way of looking at it. Let's just say each inning pitched is a days work. Would you want someone who's worked 250 days out of 20,412????

Is this a product of youth league and travel ball adding up?
These kids that play year round and ONLY play baseball I figure an arm could gas out at some point

If Skenes pitched that many innings with his current strikeout rate, he’d end up with 587 strikeouts.

you are incorrect.
It is about 250 innings in a year not in 14 years.
Then the thread title was misleading. Should have read "A pitcher hasn't pitched 250 innings a year in 14 years. That's wild"
That way it would have been perfectly clear and not open to interpretation.

I think it’s pretty obvious I meant a year for anyone with an inkling of common sense about baseball.
Did you really think there were no pitchers in last decade who didn't last one inning per start?

means that is a pitiful performance rate.

To only have pitched in 250 of them is an incredibly low number for someone being paid what Major League pitchers get paid. Here's another way of looking at it.

You should become a manager.

All this "just get me through five innings" crap has made the injuries worse.
That has a lot more to do with guys throwing harder than ever, on average, vs innings pitched.

This, and it’s what the teams want, they want a 110-mph arm on every pitch of every game and they’ll use as many arms as it takes to ensure that, It of course ruins the entertainment value of the game but that begs the question, what should the priority be, entertaining the fans or doing what is required to win in 2024?

Idk if he’ll keep it up, but he’s thrown 44 innings between minors and MLB and is averaging 14.9K/9. He was at 15.3K/9 at LSU. He’s almost certainly going to have elite strikeouts for a starting pitcher.
Posted on 5/18/24 at 12:04 pm to slackster
There is a zero percent chance he has a 45% strikeout rate over a full seasons worth of innings. Zero

Yeah I’m not suggesting he will, but he’s going to be elite for a starter. I could see 11-13K/9
ETA - basically DeGrom type of numbers are possible IMO.

Therefore, Skenes isn't one of these little travel-ball shits who has been throwing curvevalls since he was 8 and whose arm is basically shot.

But is there any real proof that overprotectivness is really saving pitcher's arms and careers?
Posted on 5/18/24 at 2:06 pm to FightinTigersDammit
There is none

Well that was a little hyperbole LOL but I stand by my point, whether it’s a 110-mph heater or a 95-mph slider with demonic spin, the expectation is that every pitch is a game moment, and it wasn’t like that when boomers (and I am one) cut their teeth in the game. And I think that is one of the reasons, aside from over caution, teams use pitchers like they do today. They want perpetual fresh arms, however hard they throw.

Exactly. No evidence pampering works, but everyone does it.
