19th rounder last year

He’s probably not going to be a future prospect in terms of playing in the Majors. He could get drafted again, sure. But he was a 19th rounder as a junior last year. If a team is taking you in the 19th round as a college player, they probably see you as someone that’ll pitch in the minors for a little while then move on. Not saying that’s the case for everyone, but it’s not like he was pitching with millions of dollars on the line. Besides, he said he was okay with it. He wanted to win. That’s what happened. I get it, 156 pitches is a lot for anyone. If he’s pitching for millions, then I’d take issue with it. But he’s probably playing in his last “World Series” type outing of his life.

Not like he does it on a regular basis

Being a pitcher I can tell you that pitch count is overrated

I think pitch count is generally overemphasized as to injuries

Disagree with that
