On the other end of the spectrum Clay Kershaw who is the same age as Strasburg was on a strict pitch count for his first three seasons and now may be the best pitcher in baseball.

Interesting thing about the pitch count.
The day the Harvey injury was announced I was watching SNY (Mets network) and Bob Ojeda mentioned that it is not necessarily the pitch count that matters.
It is the type of pitch that matters. The slider is the most dangerous pitch for a pitcher to throw and Harvey's slider is monstrous, traveling 90-91 mph, the fastest in baseball.
It is a pitch that tortures the arm and he probably threw 20 a game at that speed.
