How To Eliminate High Pitch Counts By Throwing Four Pitches

Want to eliminate high pitch counts? Aim to get hitters out on just four pitches.

1, 2, 3, 4, and that's it.

• If you throw four pitches a batter, 12 pitches an inning for 7 innings, you’ll throw 84 total pitches in a game.
• If you throw four pitches a batter, 12 pitches an inning for 9 innings, you'll throw 98 total pitches.

By aiming for four pitches a batter, you'll help your cause out there on the bump. You'll be able to pitch deeper into a game, without running up your pitch count.

Making four pitches a batter will also give you the very best opportunity to pitch complete games and save your arm and velocity throughout the duration of a season.

Make it four!
