(No pitchee whether Spring or Majors has a hook more than 6 or a pitch count greater than maybe 120-125)

Look at your pitchers for game one above:- Cobb-Light, Rosado-Light, Flores-Light, Ray-Heavy, Longoria-Light, Segura-Heavy, Cole-Moderate, Madsen-Moderate, O`Donnell-Light, Geary-Heavy, Sousa-Heavy, Puentes-Light. I'd be setting your hooks higher, looks like your guys are pitching too many games. If you set hooks to 9 or 10 for your starters in preseason (and pitch counts around 100-120), your bullpen arms will be used less and will be less fatigued.
