Pitch Count

As previously stated, what are the circumstances involved around the "Pitch Count." Pitch count did not exist back in the 1960's and 1970's and came to fruition in the 1980's. Anyone that follows the great game of baseball can explain what "pitch count"is. I think they should change the adage and call it "Throw Count". This is what Throw Count would be! It would be all the throws a Pitcher makes during the Game and Pre-Game cycle. This would include warm-up throws prior to the start of the game, warm-up throws in between innings, this would include throws to first base by the pitcher to hold the runner, and this would include fielding throws by the pitcher on bunts, etc. If a "Pitch Count" is let's say 120 then in reality it is probably double that number based on what was said above. I realize while the game is in progress, the pitcher is throwing his multitude of pitches with varying degrees of velocity but the pitcher does that prior to the beginning of the game to get his arm ready. If MLB had a pitch count back in the 1950's, then would Pirate Pitcher Harvey Haddix lasted the 12+ innings versus the Milwaukee Braves to throw his Perfect Game for 12 entire innings. A throw count does not exist in football but being around the game, quarterbacks throw the football hundreds and hundreds of times every DAY and no one counts their throws. I know pitching a baseball and throwing a football are different and the throwing motions are diversified but the deliveries are similar. Probably football sports medicine clinicians should really do a thorough study on the number of times quarterbacks throw the football during practices and during games. A "throw count' may arise in the football ranks. QB's should probably rest their arms.
