I've said this before, so I'll say it again.*
There is NO strategy in pitching rotations in softball. Thus your problem and the answer. I think we can all agree from TB to HS to college the FP mule is rode hard until it collapses.*
Once someone is brave enough to change the mentality of the FP pitching approach things will never change. FP doesn't develop any "specialty" pitchers like we do in baseball. We choose ( baseball ) WHO we will pitch depending on anything from team *hitters to bringing in a pitcher for an individual hitter.*
I believe if there was a successful professional FP league, you would see more development of said "specialty" pitchers. But the current system there is no need for arms past early 20's, so throw them until they fall off is the "mentality".*
