I think pitch count is all about the individual. I've know pitchers that could consistently throw into the 100's and not feel any ill effects the next day. On the other hand I've know healthy pitchers that if they threw 25 pitches they were going to be sore the next day. The coach has to have a relationship with the pitcher in which he knows when the kid is done. The kids physical make up, his age, past performance (pitch counts), and weather conditions, and last outing all have to be considered. I think it comes down to the coach and his relationship with the pitcher. Some kids 120 would be unheard of, others not that big of a concern. Take care of yourself after the game ICE ICE Baby!

Well said papa...there definately needs to be a progression throughout the season in which he builds up to throwing in the 100s. No matter who the kid is, when the count gets near 100 and over, the coach should be taking notice.
