College pitcher

Posted by Parent on June 8, 2026, 6:17 pm

I have a question for parents of college pitchers or college pitches themselves.
What does a typical summer look like? Does she take all summer off and practice right before fall ball starts or does she practice all summer and if so what does a typical summer practice look like, for example does she pitch 5 days a week ect?

Come home, take a few weeks off. College is a grind.

Then workouts 3 to 4 times a week, pitching lessons, and pitch workouts 3 times a week.

Hopefully she returns the following year healthy, mechanically sound & refreshed.

There is a big "It Depends" that comes into play.

My DD was starter who pitched a lot of innings. She would not pitch for about 5-6 weeks giving her body a chance to recover. Then she would start back slowly till she was eventually working 4-5 days a week rolling into the fall season.

A pitcher who did not get a lot of innings may be motivated to add another pitch or work all summer trying to improve to get more innings in the upcoming season.

There is no one correct routine for everyone. A pitcher needs to do what they feel is best for them.
