Yes - that’s how I feel, too. Give them a couple of days off from actually pitching. Maybe just a loose warmup on those days. I’m a huge believer of not throwing the day before games, too. I never booked dd pitching lessons the day before a tournament or camp.The days seem more frequent 5-6 including games. but the number of pitches during practice is lower than I expected. 50-60 max during bullpen. Starters never go live. I almost feel it would be more beneficial to throw less days but more pitches each day.
Is she playing NAIA? I know the rules for just about everything in NAIA is very different to NCAA. 6 games in a week surprises me too. Does your DD's school play make up games from weather cancelations? Just curious.Yes - that’s how I feel, too. Give them a couple of days off from actually pitching.

I honestly don’t know how many pitches they throw in a bullpen or how much they throw when they throw live but all four pitchers do it.
I‘ll also just say that dd has not complained at all about doing it, I’m just trying to understand what is typical for college pitchers. I know they threw a lot this week because the coaches really wanted to work on offense so they needed live pitching. To me they look “tired” now while pitching in games for lack of a better word. one day off a week from pitching just doesn’t seem healthy, IMHO.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. This past week’s weekday DH was canceled due to rain.Is she playing NAIA?
