Oakland A’s: No need to worry about innings limit for Jesus Luzardo

Related Topics: Oakland Athletics

Heading into the 2020 season, the Oakland A’s had stated that top prospect Jesus Luzardo would not be on a specific innings limit. There was reason for skepticism to that assertion; after all, Luzardo had pitched more than 60 innings in a season just once as a professional. At the time, that statement was taken with a grain of salt.

Now, everything has changed. The start of the 2020 season is uncertain, with a range of dates from Memorial Day through the Fourth of July mentioned as possibilities for Opening Day. At the minimum, the start of the season will be pushed back two months, with a 100 game slate of action a distinct possibility.
