well look at it like this. if you faced their #1 pitcher twice and haven't faced their #2 pitcher, then you're awfully good. They must feel threatened by you if they aren't willing to take the chance of pitching their #2
Our rec league has no rules on innings pitched. You can throw the same pitcher every inning of every game for the entire season, if you like.
Does this sound like a good idea to you?
I'm especially interested in Amy's take here. I mean, if a girl gets 15 outs on 15 pitches, then I'm not going to suggest her innings be limited. But should 9yo girls be throwing 90-100 pitches a game 3 days in a row?
Common sense is telling me one thing, but you guys have more knowledge about the physiology of this motion than I do.
During the regular season, girls can play up a division (and she may have, she is not from our league?). But for all-stars the girls have to play their own age division.
another so cal dad here....
in our last season we had 6 teams and each team had their number one pitcher hitting at least 45. one girl was hitting at least 47 and topping off at around 51. the rest of the girls, 45 easily. #2 pitchers weren't that fast but they were putting in strike after strike. i believe 4 of those pitchers are moving into 10u's.
with your situation, what about maybe complaining about IP. even if she's not to, try to shake her mental. i know it's kind of lame to do with an 8u but if she's that fast, maybe she shouldn't be there to begin with?!?
