Former world series champion Kurt Shilling raised the issue with the use of pitch count in Major League baseball as 2025 seasons were going on.
Shilling appeared on “The Will Can Show” on Fox News Channel on Friday. Phil-in Host Charles Hurt asked former Arizona Diamondback and Boston Red Sox Star whether the pitch count is good or bad.

The six-time all-star nodded his head.
“It’s a bad thing, but it is the direct result of the money,” Silling said. “(Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher) Paul Schins get about $ 10 million to sign out of college. Teams are not going to spend that kind of money without big leagues. Therefore, they are on the pitch count in minor leagues, and they are going in a big league with pitch count, and you can not ask people to do things for the first time.
“I get a little acid reflux a few times, every time I see a pitcher out of the mound in the sixth innings, let me tip my hat. But the game has changed.”
MLB managers regularly expel the pitchers from the ball game, if they begin to smell 100 pitches during the game, even if the player has a no-hatter or shutout.

One of the most famous examples in recent memory came during the 2018 World Series when Los Angeles Dojers manager Dave Roberts gave relief to Starter Rich Hill in the seventh innings during Game 4 against Boston Red Sox.
The hill ran 6.1 innings, allowing just one earned run and a hit. He threw 91 pitches and Los Angeles took a 4–0 lead at that time. The bulfane of the Dojers then trapped, and the team eventually lost the game 9–6.
The move promoted President Donald Trump’s response, calling Roberts’ move a “big mistake”. Hill Saying that replied The President’s attention should not have been on the game.
