I am not really for a pitch count, but I do fear that this logic is flawed to some degree. The "natural motion" argument, although correct, doesn't account for "unnatural force" placed on the shoulder, elbow, etc. Coaches should pay more attention to pitch counts for kids and not overuse them. However, time off is also something that many softball pitchers do not get. In a calendar year a pitcher will go from high school (in Tennessee) preseason/practices/games to summer travel ball to fall travel ball all while still taking "lessons". Therein lies the problem.

Will totally agree with the year round problem. They need to play something else for a period of time.

Not disagreeing with you on that, but not every kid wants to play another sport. Believe time off is good for all pitchers (players for that matter), no matter if it is another sport or just taking a break to rest their arms and body.

That does not matter. Most pitchers are still pitching during bball season coach.....just because they play another sport doesn't mean they are getting a break.....

The game at Eagleville last night is exactly the reason softball should have a pitch limit or innings limit like baseball.  Eagleville has a very strong left handed freshman pitcher and by the 3rd inning she was spent!  She was making a terrible face on every pitch and obviously in serious pain. Working and twisting her arm after every pitch.  The catcher even stopped to come talk once.  Their a**hole coach never once came out to talk to her or check on her  and I'll say the same for her a**hole parents.   That is a shame they treat her like that.  There is absolutely no way in this world she will make it to her senior year without surgery.  If she makes it at all.  Shame on you coaches.  TSSAA needs to do something to save the poor girl from coaches like that!

The dad is a complete idiot.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
