Re: How much is too much?
Yeah, I would agree that the world has become a bit soft but not in this case. These are young athletes with active growth plates, muscles being developed, etc. Even grown women in college that have professional training are not throwing 400 pitches in three days or 750 in a week. From what I have seen, at the D1 level in a 3 game weekend, the ace will get starts and maybe a few extra innings. They throw a lot of strikes and if they go 100 pitches, that is a lot...many will go a complete game and throw 85 or so. If I am wrong, clue me in, but some of these young girls in high school will be broken before even getting a chance.
