I think you listen and respect that 24 year old when he’s done what he’s done this year.
I mean you definitely consider it, I’m not denying that. Look I don’t care if he throws 200 pitches in a weekend, whether or not he has an arm tomorrow literally doesn’t impact me.
That being said, no college pitcher has ever came into the dugout in a big situation and said hey coach, pull me, I’m gassed. Literally everyone of them is saying let me go back out there. So yeah, you consider how he feels, you also consider the pitch count and that he’s jacked up on Mountain Dew.
Dudes a warrior, without a doubt. But everyone is until they aren’t, injuries aren’t a problem unless they happen. Ultimately it’s the coaches who have to make the call, because the pitcher simply isn’t ever going to make the right decision and say when he should stop.
Waiting for the pitcher to tell you he’s done is like a manager waiting on the boxer to throw the towel.

Kopps ain't a college pitcher, he is pitching on a pro level and his pitch count is increasing while showing no sign of fatigue.
He should be in the pros and it is unfair to his college competition.

Eh, that really isn't true
Should a coach solely rely on what the pitcher is telling them? No because there are some that would never ask to be taken out but there are plenty of pitchers that have no problem telling the coach they are done or don't have it anymore.
