A few years ago they were looking at pitch counts for Washington state high school baseball and one of the high school coaches I know was telling me there was a lot of push back from the coaches. The particular coach I know was using data and recommendations from Dodgers doctors and trainers to push for strict pitch counts. He got an email from one of the coaches defending his stance explaining he thought the pitch counts were too strict but he's all for protecting the kids and pointed out that's he's ONLY had 2 kids that have needed TJ.
Anyway, the pitch counts more or less failed. They ended up passing a rule that requires a number of days rest based on pitches throws but the max for a start is 120. So they were able to pat themselves on the back for a rule to protect arms that really didn't do much of anything.
