Question to coaches
I have a question well questions about managing a pitcher.
You have 4 pitchers you have your top pitcher, 2nd pitcher and your two beginning pitchers (12u) btw
The second pitcher sometimes finishes and
Completes games and sometimes she struggles and the #1 pitcher is put in.
Let’s say from the time all the pitchers warmed up while the team warmed up over 1:30 min passed by and they put in the relief pitcher. The relief pitcher was not warmed up just put in the circle and they usually get 5 pitches warm up.
Is it ok for a pitcher to sit out an hour and 30 min without properly warming up and just put out there to pitch?
