re: Should college pitchers be pitching in the fall?

The science on pitchers and injuries is still insanely undecided. While obviously you shouldn't be going full bore every single day, it's also pretty nuts to say they should just take 3 months off from pitching during the year too

You're right- it's a very inexact science, and what's best varies from pitcher to pitcher. I'm just questioning the conventional wisdom that all college pitchers must throw in the fall. I'm open to being proven that the conventional wisdom is correct.
A typical HS senior ace will throw 60-70 innings in the spring, then another 30-40 in the summer. If the idea is to be at your peak the following May/June, I don't know if more wear on the tires in the fall is always the best idea.
I found a pretty good writeup from a guy who trains MLB pitchers and advises 2-3 months of no throwing in the offseason: LINK
