By the end of the night, Ken was pretty tired. But that didn't stop him from laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling like he usually did.

He had a good game today both in fielding and batting. While he didn't get a chance to pitch, he was able to showcase other aspects of his game that he wouldn't have if he hadn't been training so hard to improve.

Unlike Japan where the Ace could pitch multiple games in a row, professional and college level teams had strict guidelines to prevent injuries and fatigue accumulation.

From his understanding, 30-50 pitches would require 1 to 2 days rest. 51-75 pitches needed 2-3 days and 75+ required one to sit out for 3-4 days.

These were just guidelines of course, and most clubs would err on the side of caution. Which made sense when considering how many resources were spent on a pitcher, both in salary and marketing.
