My only comment is if you want to limit pitches, then limit PITCHES. Last year my DD couldn't find the strike zone. It took a LOT of pitches to get through an inning. This year (only 3 games so far), she's gotten 2/3 outs from K's. I haven't tracked her exact counts, but I'm guessing what she's throwing in 5 innings this year matches two (maybe three) innings last year. Since she's more efficient this year, she shouldn't pitch as much?
Set a limit (say average 7 batters an inning, 5 pitches to each batter gives you 35 pitches/inning. Multiply by number of innings (we do 5 here) and you've got 175) on the number of pitches. So maybe you say '400 pitches a day, 1K a week'. That's basically 5 games over the week, w/two on Saturday and two on Sunday.
I pulled these numbers out of my a--, feel free to change them.
