They may want him to go into September with a few bullets left so he can throw in the majors that month. I think they have in the past tried to get college pitchers used to pitching in more games and longer in the year as part of the development process, rather than blow through the innings target by mid-August.
Also, great to see RD back!
Thanks. Been around from time to time lurking i suppose, but it's baseball season now! Great time of the year.
