That sounds like the most sensible way to handle the issue. That, or set it so that only sensible values are accepted. So 100 will be accepted. 10 won't. 60? Maybe.

It's basically an exploit and it needs shutting down. You wanna play phony ball, use an actual opener...

Edit: As a rule of thumb, make it so that pitch counts can't be lower than the pitcher's stamina.
