It’ll be interesting to see how pitchers tire if they’re pumping out max-effort reps quickly

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Mar 2 '23, 12:11

I can’t imagine if wear and tear and fatigue at 100mph is an issue with 30-35 seconds in between pitches…how they’ll back off a bit when forced to do it every 15-20.

Yeah, I referenced this the other day. It's the story if arm injuries soar this season. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:19 2
- How many times in his career do you think Greg Maddux went max-effort? - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:22 1
  - Max? Effort? -- nm - Mark Buehrle Mar 2, 12:46
I don't think it's a big deal. They been using the pitch clock in the minors since 2015. - Inigo Mar 2, 12:13 4
- didn't they do a study and found that most pitchers are already under the timer limit.. it'll rush just a handful? -- nm - colin Mar 2, 12:46 3
  - To a large extent I think the hitters were often the slower part. Stepping out of the box. Adjusting their batting gloves after every pitch. - pmb Mar 2, 12:49 1
    - I'm certain baseball was invented by people with OCD for people with OCD -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 2, 13:42
  - more coddling of starters’ arms is definitely what the game needs now -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 2, 12:48
