Dylan Fosnacht throws 194 pitches
A high school baseball player in Washington State threw 194 pitches over 14
innings Tuesday before being removed in the 15th inning of his team's eventual
1-0 victory in its district tournament.
Rochester High School starting pitcher Dylan Fosnacht struck out 17 and was
pulled in the top of the 15th after the first two batters reached base. Dustin
Wilson, who had been playing catcher, finished the 17-inning win over La Center
High School and then pitched all seven innings of Rochester's second game that
day, a 5-3 victory over Elma High School.
Fosnacht posted a picture of himself and Wilson on his Twitter account.
"I have never seen two guys take the mound and dominate like that for that long
," assistant coach Kyle Sprague told MaxPreps.com. "I have both of those guys
in class, and they both said that their arms were fine today."
Many states impose innings or pitch limits on high school athletes. However, an
official with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association told ESPN.
com that the only rule her organization has is that pitchers who throw four or
more innings in a day must be given two days off before pitching again.
Fosnacht's eye-catching pitch count is in contrast to the current era of major
league baseball, where pitch counts are closely monitored and teams seem to be
overprotective of pitchers, removing them as soon as they pass 100 pitches. It
also comes during a year when several MLB pitchers have had to undergo Tommy
John surgery to repair elbow ligament tears, with the most recent casualty being
Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, who is expected to have the surgery later
this week.
His outing even caught the eye of Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price, who gave him a
shoutout on Twitter, while also slamming his coach.
Fosnacht said in another tweet that it's a moment he won't soon forget.
Rochester manager Jerry Striegel told the Centralia Chronicle that he talked to Fosnacht every inning to make sure he was OK.
"We talked to him every inning, and he said he felt comfortable, he felt good,
and he's a little competitor," Striegel told the newspaper. "He didn't want to
come out of the ballgame. He wasn't very pleased when I took him out in the
15th."
