2 pitchers throw for 50 innings 700 pitches each

Via Deadspin, a data point that Japanese baseball is a bit different than what we’re used to. Specifically, a high school game which lasted 50 innings and was played over four separate days. It was 0-0 through 49 innings and ended with a score of 3-0 following a 50th inning rally by the visiting team.
The kicker: the same two starting pitchers pitched all 50 innings each. Which, even though it was broken up over four days, is a crazy, crazy workload. One pitcher tossed 709 pitches. The other threw 689.
So, yeah, that happened.

Chukyo finally defeated Sotoku 3-0 in the 50th Sunday morning, but look at those pitching lines. Both starting pitchers played the entire game. Taiga Matsui hurled 709 pitches for Chukyo, and Sotoku's Jukiya Ishioka threw 689 pitches. Even over the course of four days, holy shite.

Pretty crazy. Although I think that Japanese HS baseball uses flat mounds so it's not as crazy.

I know Dice K had an insane work load during his HS championship season.

I think it's safe to round 689 up

seems like we have found the root cause of the Japanese fade.

How so exactly?

4-6x the work on your arm for mound vs flat ground. That's why pitching coaches use flat grounds instead of bullpens every day

fricking disgusting

Pitchers got a rubber arm.
Literally.
Literally.

I played against a Japanese team in college, the pitchers would actually go to the bullpen between innings and keep throwing. They were machines.

Throwing off a mound puts added stress on your arm that isn't there when throwing off a flat surface.

The winning pitcher threw 5 more innings later that day.
And to clear it up a little bit:

A semifinal game between Chukyo of Gifu Prefecture and Sotoku of Hiroshima Prefecture at the National High School Championship of “nanshiki yakyu,” a form of baseball played with a hard rubber ball, lasted 50 innings over four days as zeros continued to fill the scoreboard.

According to sources, it is more difficult to score in nanshiki yakyu because the rubber balls do not fly as far as those used in baseball.

So why do we use a mound?

Even if it's flat, the pitching motion is not natural to your body. To throw that much over 4 days is still very harmful.
