So you think throwing 120 pitches in a game as a 12 year old is ok? Of course it doesn't hurt the kid that day. Here is what can happen. "Tommy John" surgery at age 17. If your kid is a pitcher, never let him throw more than the recommended pitch count. I'd say 80 until 14. Then 90 until 16. Don't throw all summer, then Fall Ball, then winter workouts, then HS ball, then start all over again. Take 4 month breaks. #<105
