I don't think so. The games give your pitchers opportunities/reps, but if they're not able to throw strikes consistently in a game, throwing extra pitches during the game will not magically make them better. Bring in the coach. The time for pitchers to develop is outside of games and team practices. That will sort out the ones who can handle pitching more innings.I totally get it from the outsider stance. It moves the game along. My major concern is that there are other 10u teams who have pitchers that pitch the whole time and does this do a disservice to my team if we are "rescuing" the pitchers every time?
To be honest, I go back and forth on the topic.
