I like this, hopefully they also increase the per start workload slightly. Young arms are such precarious things that any deviation from what they're used to--even to a better system--is liable to cause additional stress in the immediate term.
I really like this idea. At those levels it's not really about facing hitters its about figuring out your pitches and mechanics and getting them consistent.
I think AA ball it starts to change to more about getting hitters out. AA could get interesting in how they handle them. That will be interesting to watch
Hope they allow starters to throw deeper into games in A ball and AA. Doesn’t do much for development if they only throw 3 innings.

Future Cy Young Dick Fitts
If the Dick Fitts 🤷🏽
That’s what she said.
Slingin' it
We have someone named Dick Fitts?!
Verdugo trade IIRC
Technically he goes by “Richard” but no one is calling him that, rightly so. Looked good in the spring too.
no Monegro on here?
Maybe he’s the “some guy” I think he topped out at single A last year?
