this guy is blowing my mind right now.

i thought with his stamina / durability rating I’d have him throw 50 pitches before he zeroed out. But he’s throwing 80-90 and then is back to full health a day after.
how do you get the most out of him? Have him throw 120 and go 0(0) for a few days? Have him pitch every other day.
i feel like this guy could throw 400 innings if I could crack the code on this one.
I think that if you also want maximum performance-- if you want his ERA to be around 2.8 instead of the 3.2 he's at now-- you have two choices.
A) If you need him to be a starter, I'd run his pitch count at 60/65, and start him mostly every other day with occasional breaks. I think you'd get right on 300 innings that way.
B) If he can be in your bullpen, I'd set him as SuA, pitch count 40/45, and expect to get just under 300 innings by pitching ~2 2/3 innings about 110 games.
That said, your pitching isn't anything special, so if you wanted to push him to a higher innings count at the cost of giving up some runs due to in-game fatigue, I'd start him every other day, set his pitch count to 70/75, and keep increasing the pitch count by 5 until he begins having to miss starts due to fatigue. He's probably a better pitcher fatigued than most of your staff is rested, and the 97 health offers some protection against in-game fatigue related injury.
