Re: [Other] Japanese school team hit for 66 runs in two innings
said by the article : quote:
“At that pace the pitcher would have thrown around 500 pitches in four innings,” Kawamoto’s coach was quoted as saying. “There was a danger he could get injured.”
Actually more like 600 in four innings, considering he had thrown 250 in only an inning and 1/3.
Has the Kawamoto coach ever heard about changing pitchers, I wonder?
And it seems to me the risk of injury would more likely stem from being clobbered by screaming line drives than over-throwing.
But hey-- the pitcher just didn't have his 'A' stuff out there. |
