How did they circumvent the pitch or inning restrictions that every single affiliation puts on kids? I've coached and whoever was putting it on (USSSA, PG, 2D, whatever) kept close tabs on it.

Highly doubt what you are saying is true…

Here are the rules I’m familiar with:
9U-12u
One Day Max to Pitch Next Day = 35
One Day Maximum = 75
Three Day Maximum = 110
13u-14u
One Day Max to Pitch Next Day = 35
One Day Maximum = 85
Three Day Maximum = 120

didn’t happen

My kid played a lot from 7-12. Once he started growing he took much more time off. People act as if he quit playing. But his arm is stronger his hitting metrics increased. His overall athleticism skyrocketed by working out hard and playing football

This year round stuff is crazy. If he develops and enjoys it and has a chance at all to play further he can play summers again. Or we can go fishing. Up to him

But I saw a lot of decent ball players play all summer. Going to showcases with 72 mph arms, 8 second sixties and average EV. I don’t get it.

But to each his own.
