Thoughts on the new PIAA baseball pitching rule

The PIAA approved on Wednesday a rule where the number of pitches counts towards eligibility and not innings. The limit is 100 pitches per session which would require 3 days of rest. 25 pitches would require no days rest. 26 to 50 requires one day of rest. 51 to 75 requires two days and then 76 to 100 pitches would require three days of rest. Now here's my thought on it: I have some doubts. I agree something had to be done to save players' arms and this rule has worked in Little League Baseball. However, the problems I have are currently:

-Teams starting to take pitches to run up high pitch counts. At the High School level, a coach can very easily say "take a few pitches" and most of the players will take pitches. Whereas in Little League, a manager might say that but more often then not, the Little Leaguer will hit the best pitch he sees. In my opinion, I find a good at-bat to be about 5 pitches and a good inning by the pitcher to be under 15 pitches.

-Inconsistent umpiring is another concern. This isn't here to bash umpires in anyway, but sometimes I've noticed that occasionally the strike zone changes sometimes, where a strike in the first inning can be a ball in the sixth inning. I'm not saying umpires have to be perfect because they can make mistakes. I'm more concerned when it's one of those games where the strike zone changes by the inning.

-Longer games is the last concern I have. Remember that none of these teams have lights on their field so in an early season start, you might have til about 7-7:30 to get the game finished (remember games are official after 5 innings). This is the smallest of concerns all things considered. You might end up with teams who take a pitcher up to the limit and the pressure is on the next pitcher. 

Those are some of the problems I have, could some of these be a problem? We'll see, it's going to be an adjustment for all the coaches. When I cover a game, my hope is to be able to get a pitch count on both sides and it will be in the pitching line.
