Hi all, my daughter is a pretty good 10u pitcher (11 soon) that is P1 on her team. She's tall and strong and has a good change and a developing curve. I'm trying to make sure we keep her healthy and have been doing a fair amount of core and glute work. She has good form after a couple years with a pitching coach.
I'm getting wide ranging advice on safe pitch counts. I've seen guidelines from the university of Florida at around 100/day, 200 for a two day tournament and have also gotten heard safe counts as high as 500 for a tournament weekend. Any advice from some experienced coaches or dads on what is safe? At this juncture I'm using Florida as the baseline but going up or down based on how she seems to respond to the load.
