The reason why is because starters are pitchers, closers are throwers. As a starter, your goal is to go 9 innings. So, you must limit high pitch counts and conserve energy. Closing is a totally different aspect since you will be throwing only about 25 pitches (almost max). You are able to gun it out everytime, throwing your hardest fastball and not worrying about tiring.
