Regarding pitch counts, I'd really like to see it modified where intentional walk pitches count only 1/2 a "pitch" because there is so little stress on the arm to toss lollipops at the catcher during an IBB. Conversely, I would add hard pickoff throws as one "pitch" and soft pickoff throws as a 1/2-pitch. I think that better represents the wear on the arm. If you accept the notion that pitch counts=wear on the arm then it would seem that fine tuning the equation would give you an even more accurate picture of how hard a pitcher has had to work.
