In modern day baseball, teams generally have five starting pitchers, and they take it in turn to start a game every fifth day (hence the phrase rotation). Sometimes, if the schedule pans out, a team can get away with a four man rotation, and in the distant past some teams managed a three man rotation.
In addition to examining arm mechanics and keeping them from running the bases, limiting the amount of pitches is the latest trend in the sport. Gone are the days when Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers threw an unlimited number of pitches in a game and worked more than 300 innings a year. Pitch counts have become an increasingly popular tool to measure a pitcherâs workload.
