University of Arizona defends overuse of pitching staff because his players nap

Arizona ace Nathan Bannister pitched June 3 against Sam Houston State, throwing 96 pitches in seven innings. He pitched again three days later, throwing 102 pitches in seven innings to clinch an NCAA regional. Bannister made his third postseason start in Saturday’s Super Regional-clinching win against Mississippi State, throwing 86 pitches.
Kevin Ginkel pitched three games in a row — two in relief — in the regional, throwing 24 pitches on Sunday, then 86 combined in two Monday games.

Arizona’s pitchers were put on a stricter sleep schedule, for example, during the regional series. After Bannister pitched the June 3 game, he tweaked his schedule to include more naps. The naps “trick the body,” Lawn said. It’s a concept UA coach Jay Johnson adopted from Scott Sarver, the former coach at Point Loma Nazarene University.
“I think it’s good,” Johnson said. “We did some unique things during the regional in terms of their sleep and rest patterns in terms of them having naps, waking up, work out, eat, go back to bed, to give them almost a simulation of another day’s rest.

I'm too salty for this.

I don't know if it's going to end up being bad for him long term or not. All I know is that I was at the game where Bannister threw on 3 days rest in the Regional and he was filthy. I was awfully impressed.

This board seems really divided every time the issue of pitch counts come up. The global warming of baseball topics.

In the short term, it's probably ok.
Pitch counts / not enough rest are long-term issues.

I don't think coach understands what short rest means.

Guys can blow out their arms either way. There have been Japanese pitchers that throw everyday, they blow out. There have been guys who adhere to strict pitch counts and rest schedules, they blow out too.

Would love to see college baseball adopt a strict pitch count limit.
It is an almost unwatchable product anyway outside of watching prospects/potential play, there's no need to risk injury to a potential pro to win an extra game in a regional.
At most schools the coaches seem to be fine, but unfortunately the coaches at schools like Arizona, Marshall, Texas, etc. have ruined it for everyone.

One time I took 4 twenty minute cat naps in a row... I nearly died of dehydration because I tricked my body into thinking I hadn't had water for 4 days.
