Pitches vs Innings

Why are two different standards used for how much a pitcher has worked? In a game we count pitches but for a season we count innings. A six pitch inning is very different from a thirty five pitch inning. When we say a pitcher might pitch 200 innings, that could be ALOT of work or not as much. Has anyone ever considered a pitch count for the season?

I look at pitches thrown to evaluate work load on the kids I coach.  I’m sure professionals do too.  I suspect the data we see is not what the teams are using to make decisions.
