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.

Same, because there is nothing but upside for coaches to over use their players.

Where would you set the limit? Would 110 per 4 day period be reasonable? That would mirror what MLB pitchers do. Maybe add 20 to a pitcher's count if he pitches on back to back days? If a reliever throws 40 pitches on Friday and 30 on Saturday, his adjusted pitch count would be 90. Then he would effectively be done for the weekend, but could throw 20 on Monday.
