I also think MLB teams babying pitchers with pitch counts hurts them. It makes sense in the spring when you’re trying to ramp them up, but after that they need to be throwing a lot. It’s the constant rest/stress cycles that frick with their arms.
Leo Mazzone, the Braves pitching coach in the 90's(he should be in Cooperstown IMO but I digress), made his career off of that philosophy.
And it worked. You hardly ever saw any arm injuries w/the Braves staff, save Smoltz.

And even Smoltz pitched until his mid 30’s before having TJ surgery. Kind of insane considering how hard he threw and how much he threw the slider.
