LSU killed Ben's arm. I'm going to assume colleges are better now and not riding their best pitchers like rented mules to win the College World Series. 

LSU played something like 70 games that year.  McDonald threw 152 innings and struck out over 200.  That seems like a lot of innings for a 21-year-old to throw in three months or so.  For a comparison the SEC leader in innings in 2019 had 118.  ACC leader had 113.

Although some guy named Grant Judkins threw 165 innings for Iowa last year.  He started 30 of the team's 55 games.

So going by this and CoC top college pitchers are still getting overused. A lot of starters at the MLB level barely top 165 innings pitched now.

I think it's less prevalent but still a thing.
