[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each of my kids has had a season where their team won every game and honestly, I didn't love it even though they did. You get nothing out of that.[/quote]

My daughter just had a season like this. Her little league softball team won every game. [b]They had by far the best pitcher. My daughter was probably 2nd-3rd best in the 6 team league, but barely got to pitch because the dad of the other girl was the coach and pitched her all the time. [/b]Anytime the game was close, the other girl pitched all 4 or 5 innings. Mine was the only other girl to pitch on the team, getting an inning or rarely two in a blow out.

Both girls made all-stars but in different age groups. My daughter was told she wasn’t going to get to pitch because she didn’t get enough  experience during the season. [/quote]

Hate to break it to you, but it sucks to be a softball pitcher.  It's not like baseball where 5 kids are in the starting rotation and then you have relievers.

Did you watch any of the College World Series?  Some teams ride 1 pitcher for the Regionals, Super Regionals and the World Series because you can.

The HS softball teams in the area do the same thing.

I guess it's OK for a kid to throw like 600 softball pitches in a week...though it doesn't sound like it should be.

That's because college softball is the pinnacle for women. They don't need to ever pitch again.[/quote]
 
You are missing the point...which is that you don't need to pitch anyone else if you don't want, unlike baseball which has minimum days' rest requirements which ensures that others will get to pitch.

The same stuff happens in high school too depending on the coach.  [/quote]
