– Why do NFL teams basically play one quarterback all/every game, while MLB teams play multiple pitchers?
In: 11
Baseball is played almost daily for teams in the mlb, with some travel and rest days between. pitching 80-100 balls is a huge workout, probably equivalent to playing a full game at QB (obviously not in the sense of taking the tackles).
Each mlb starting pitcher will roughly play every 4-7 days, depending on where they are in rotation ect.
QBs will tend to have 5-7 days as well till their next game so it is somewhat equivalent.
Batters in the mlb can tend to play most games as they play much less of the game so to speak, since they’ll have about 3-5 plate appearances per game, then go fielding which will have a variable about of workout, but unlikely to reach the levels the pitcher is doing (most of the time)
