I know the number will vary. But I am trying to figure out if what I am seeing is in the ballpark.
My daughter is a freshman pitcher in college. I knew her pitching workload was going to increase in college, but I am shocked at how much pitching she is doing. I am trying to gauge if I am overly concerned, or if her coach is a little aggressive in practices.
D-II. They are in their fall season. She pitched 5 innings last Sunday in a game. She was off Monday. She will pitch Tuesday - Friday in practices (2 of those days will be bullpen. The other two will be to live hitters). She then has double header games on Saturday and Sunday. She will pitch in at least two of those games probably 5 or so innings each. So in all, this stretch will be 7 out of 8 days. (I thought they got two days off in the fall, but that is for another time).
If she got the Friday off before the double headers, I don't think the concern level would be so high.
All the pitchers have this schedule for the fall.
