That's still a lot of innings pitched, especially when compared to baseball.
I did some research on the top HS baseball pitchers in my area. The leader in wins for baseball has 10 wins on the season. In those 10 wins, he's pitched 62 innings. No one else has more than 8 wins, and some very good teams have multiple 7 or 8 game-winners.
For comparison, our leader in wins in softball has 21 wins, including playoffs. She's thrown 139 innings this season so far. There is not one team with two pitchers on the leaderboard. The team in our county championship has their top pitcher at 11 wins, their #2 at 5 wins, and their #3 at 2 wins.
Maybe baseball coddles them too much, but the idea that we can run these girls out there until their arms fall off is just silly.
So you think that less than 9 innings average PER week is too many- we will agree to disagree- over 13 weeks 116 innings is not a huge amount IMHO.
