– Why do NFL teams basically play one quarterback all/every game, while MLB teams play multiple pitchers?
In: 11
This is a simple one, so I assume you’re not privy to the sports. Baseball pitchers lose “command” of their pitches, and their arms tire out. This allows for batters to hit better and thus, a fresh-armed pitcher is needed mid-game. In football, the forces on an arm are not as high as in baseball as it is. And they don’t throw as hard as possible on every play. Finally, pitchers throw a lot more. 140 pitches or so per game in total, and 162 games per season. The NFL record is 70 throws, and the average is probably in the 30’s. With only 17 games in a season, they throw a lot less.
