How many games
By: Bear
I am not able to answer nor authenticate averages nor maximums. I can only attest to what I have heard, seen & done in the past (and it probably won't change much more in the future). (And of course the qty of games is entirely dependent on the Lat/Longs from either you reside and/or where the player attends school.)
That said: If player is not in HS (14U) a) 40 games March to late June b) 20 games July 1 to August c) 20 games Aug to school start d) 20 games Sept to Nov ---------- That's about 100. If player is in HS (15-18) a) 20 games March to late May b) 40 games Memorial Day to mid July c) 20 games Mid July to begin Aug d) 40 games mid Aug to mid Nov ------------------- That's 120. Player is in College 18-22 a) 56 games mid Feb to late May b) 60 games Memorial Day to mid Aug ---------- That's 116 Independant (or Minor League) a) 20 games Mid Feb to April 1 b) 120 games April 1 to Sept 1 ------------- That's 140 Major League a) 30 games Mid Feb to April 1 b) 162 games April 1 to mid Oct ------------- That 192 Throw in 50 more for Arizona League, Mex & DR Winter Leagues for some of the minor leaguers and a few of the major leaguers To determine max, take, for an example a couple of HOF pitchers. On modern day, threw over 3900 innings in league games in a 19 yr span. That's an average of about 200 innings per year. One HOF (& WW2 vet) average over 210 innings per year in his 18 yr span. Heck Gimpy Pappas averaged about 190 innings per year for 17 yrs.
