High school kid throwing 9 innings. Good job looking out for the kid coach. High School coaches in Louisiana are idiots.

What was his pitch count?
ETA: I see the article is showing 125. That's unfortunate. He is a bigger bodied kid though, so maybe it doesn't affect him as much.
You don't like to see that though. Hopefully it's an isolated incident.

How highly-regarded is he?
He's pretty highly thought of by Prep Baseball Report, which seems to give more of a college prospect ranking (IMO) than a pro draft ranking.
It's just tough to say right now since all the big events for guys his age won't happen until this summer.

125 pitches for a HS kid. the coach should be ashamed.
Posted on 4/7/17 at 10:24 am to ProjectP2294
He is maybe 6' tall and from the coaches comments I would bet money this isn't an isolated incident. High pitch counts and short rest, see it all the time.

Their other stud threw 100 pitches against WM early in the year. They got the W though.

Looks like a couple high school coaches came in to downvote me calling them out. How about you explain your down vote and try to defend your position coach?

Most states thats not allowed. Louisiana is the only state I believe that still doesn't have a pitch limit. Next year they will implement a 125 pitch limit, which is still more than any other state in the country.

From what I've heard, Louisiana is slowly getting with the times. I believe they did implement a rule this year regarding rest days. Don't really know the ins and outs of the rule, but a coach told me something about mandatory rest between outings based off of the number of pitches thrown.

Pitch count and rest won't go into effect until 2018. Even then, the count and rest schedule is much higher than practically every state on that list. Pitiful.....

striking out 17, you're going to throw a good amount of pitches. I wasnt at the game so i cant comment, but not all 125 pitch counts are the same

Oh, I know. And it still only averages out to about 14 pitches per inning, which is pretty efficient.
He's also not a huge velocity guy. I mean for HS he is, but he's a 90-91 guy. And he may not throw with max effort every time.

No way to justify 125 pitches for a kid with a future. Add in the extra between innings pitches as well for a 9 inning game versus a 7 innings game and it is more glaring.
Look, if little Johnny is a senior and this is as far as his career goes then it doesn't matter. When the kid has a future ahead of him, shame on you coach.

I didn't downvote you, but there are a ton of variables that need to be considered before you criticize a coach, not the least of which is rest between starts. I'd find that out before hammering a coach.
Posted on 4/7/17 at 5:38 pm to DEG
I know all about the variables and I'll hammer the coach because 125 pitches is indefensible in that situation.
What's your scenario where that is okay with this kid? I'll poke holes in anything you present and hammer you too.

7 x 14 = 98, no?
Posted on 4/7/17 at 8:16 pm to lsu31always
Game went 10 innings according to the linked article
Posted on 4/7/17 at 8:30 pm to TigerGrad2011
At what age is he ok to pitch 125 pitches?
Posted on 4/7/17 at 9:27 pm to DEG
Barbe is notorious for this. So much so at one point Tulane flat out stated they'd stop recruiting any pitcher from Barbe because they've been ruined by the time they get to college.
