Fortunate enough to have good rapport with HS coaches. We had a conversation toward the end of the season to sit DD against a tough conference opponent we had barely beaten earlier in the season. We were close to the top of the conference but knew we couldn't win it. DD had thrown 95% of the innings, and she was wearing down and having a little hip pain. Quite a drop-off from DD to P2, so we knew we were sacrificing that game. Those extra three days of rest were huge as she was rejuvenated going into playoffs and we made a deep run to the section finals. That included a one-hitter against a tough team and a 1-0 victory coming right after a first loss in double-elimination. Without that rest, no way we would have made it that far.Would be interested to hear from people who have actually done this at the HS level. Assume for a minute that the HS coach actually cares what you think and would listen to you (which would be unusual),...
