In today's baseball, the pitch count counts
Posted May 23, 2008
North Carolina pitching coach Scott Forbes puts an 85-pitch ceiling on a player's first outing in February, when the weather often is cold, then incrementally increases the number to about 100 after two weeks. Pitchers in the regular rotation, who have six days between starts, eventually reach the 110-120 delivery range.
