Part 3/8:
The team is limiting early-season pitch counts as they aim for gradual progress. The coaching staff's strategy involves ensuring that players, including the aforementioned pitcher, experience back-to-back outings before ramping up pitch counts gradually. Currently positioned at the 50-pitch mark, the goal is to gradually extend this to around 75-80 pitches as the season nears, a structured approach to ensure players are fully prepared for the rigors of a long season.
