Not sure about this year, but last year every pitcher at every level had a pitch count. I believe the reasoning is to protect young, developing arms. I know that the relievers at our level (SS-A) were also on a "pitch count" of sorts. For every inning they threw, they were off that many days. Not sure if that hold true again this year as our season has not started. I am heading down to extended spring training this Friday and will ask the pitching rehab coach what gives.
Sounds like fun. Florida sounds nice with all the disgusting cold rain going on.
