The rotation mode and pitcher stamina strategy settings both influence these things.

As Rain King said, the game also has to be set up to prevent exploits. Otherwise, what is being discussed here could result in a team having 9 pitchers all pitch 1 inning per game and appear in 162 games. This would be nonsense.

Rain King is also right about a pitcher preparing for a start. The pitcher does not just walk out onto the field and start throwing. They are even warming up when lineups are announced.

How often do relievers pitch three days in a row in real MLB? They only need to come in to pitch to 3 batters. However, they are giving max effort on every pitch, and they need to recover too.
