This blows me away. Great job by the Bailey kid. Sounds like he pitched a great game. However, how in the world are these guys already ready to be throwing complete games? ITS STILL MARCH!!! It is even more baffling considering the score. There was absolutely no reason for this kid to throw that much in this game. Sounds like it would have been a great game to get everyone some work on the hill. If a 14-17 year old kid is throwing more than 50-60 pitches in March then something is really wrong. It's not just one team though. It seems to be happening a lot in the eastern part of the state. I have seen about 10 games so far this year in the Lexington area, and I haven't seen a team throw less than 3-pitchers in any of those games, regardless of what the score was. I just don't understand the necessity of throwing a kid that much that early.
