I'd like to see softball institute a pitch count protocol. Force teams to throw all their pitchers.Such a great point there Westwind!!!
Reflecting on the opposite side of that important requirement in *having good/effective pitchers
is that we know now in softball there are TONS of more teams now. If we want the ENTIRE competitive level of softball to grow
we need all of the positions *including pitchers to be able to play at upper levels.
Simply if everyone had a competitive pitcher everyone would be more competitive.
Over these decades I see the adjustments being made some of them were good and brought a lot more action with hits and runners. But I do see that there is a limited top-tier that should be larger. As far as competitive teams should be more than 5% at least 30 to 40% seems more applicable to a competitive sport. Or more what do people think on that? There could be a lot more teams putting pressure on trying to get to the College World Series.
