Ramping up slowly if she hasn’t thrown for several weeks is the smart thing to do.

This is super important. DD goes from a six-week shutdown from Thanksgiving to New Years to slowly increasing her workload in January and February. Heading into March and HS tryouts, she’s pitching three times a week, somewhere around 150 pitches per session. That should match up well with a school schedule workload.

Tournaments present a different challenge, with so many innings crammed into just two or three days. It’s tough to prepare for that level of intensity, but the combination of strength, endurance, and good mechanics are the best you can rely on.

This is why there should be pitch counts in softball.

Who will collect pitch count info and how will that be valid/accurate?
With all the different softball venues hosting events how will that be fact-checked?

Whatever teams use to digitally score games (GameChanger for example) keep track of pitch count.

Game Changer is not mandatory.

Lol..ok. If a pitch count requirement was made (and I am not saying it should be), then they could make some sort of digital scoring mandatory. 90+ % of teams already use some sort of digital scoring already anyway.

Lol..ok.

And we already know how inaccurate game-changer can be.

Who is they?
...is the point.
And how will that collectively go across all the different softball venues who don't even have the same rule books. It's just the obvious being thrown out there

Pitch counts are accurate, there is no judgement regarding whether a pitch was thrown or not..

Lol your argument is lost to the fact that game changer is already a horrible representation of statistics.
It is not mandatory good luck find a solution and who will supervise it

 

[radness]

Lol the hosting softball venues can't even keep track of player rosters and who is shuffling teams at last minute even playing on two teams in the same tournament

You are right as usual @RADcatcher
