Just saw a 10-U girl throw over 270 pitches this weekend. Good thing they didn’t make the championship game.
If you must know about 56% for both (and the other two pitchers who got innings were not any better)Yes, but how many where stikes?
You might want to pay attention to what towny9 posted from the university of Florida. I went back and looked at it, and it doesn’t say anything about:Count how many pitches are done in a workout.
80-100 very common.
Thats in 30 min consecutively.
Several days weekly.
Records on games show pitchers can and do throw more in games.
That said...
Individual athletism and age is a consideration.
The weather and health is another consideration.
Throwing in a game how many how much
imo is the individuals decision.
Younger ages guided by the parents not the coach.
Have a plan including recuperation.
Stick to it!
I had forgotten I had posted that a while back. I looked up several recommendations and they were all very similar. I have coached high school baseball and now travel softball for 20 years and I sleep very well at nig hot knowing I have never overthrown a player. I find a guideline based in science and research and I stick to it. Has it cost me games in the past - most definitely yes! But like I said...I sleep very well at night knowing I do my part in protecting the health of the players.You might want to pay attention to what towny9 posted from the university of Florida.

it showed what was recommended for girls in a certain age group. Is it people like you who decide that all these people with degrees don’t know what they are talking about, and end up hurting young ladies before they have a chance to mature.
Listen to the professionals, not the posters on here. Some are really great, some have no clue.
