OK thanks Mid.
So, these are the things that come to mind..

Thanks for the thoughtful advice, cabbagedad. I'm trying not to get to specific about the player for privacy reasons. His parents are tall, and his doctor says he'll be at least 6-5, so he's really just starting puberty. The kid has played/pitched 8 months/year since he was 8 years old. Dad and club coach have never let him (or any of his teammates) come close to overuse. Everybody pitches. Has never had any type of arm issue.

State PC rules are the same for all ages/grades (including for the occasional 8th grader at a few private schools). In general the rules are good, but like CaCO says, there are situations that an educated parent could have a problem with.
