There have been guys who adhere to strict pitch counts and rest schedules, they blow out too.



There is a definitive link between over-usuage and arm damage. Yes it can happen even if you don't take precaution, but its a fact that you have a higher chance with over-usage of the arm. Also there is just going to be a lot more skepticism when coaches over use guys who they will have no use for in 3 weeks.

Should throw overs be counted in a pitch count?

I know some count them as part of throws.

How many days should you rest before you pen?

I know you are going to argue the pitch count by your last two post so no reason to try to engage in any type of debate.

And this will be an issue as long as a coach's compensation is tied to how much he wins and not how many guys he gets drafted, so forever.

I don't remember what school it was or if it was in a conference tourney or a regional, but everyone was railing on one coach for throwing a kid on short rest until the kid (a senior) finally came out and said he has no plans to pursue baseball beyond college so everyone needs to chill.

The biggest issue outside of the mismatched incentives is inability or even unwillingness of the pitchers to communicate what is actually going on with their arm.
