quote:My son has been pitching since he was 9 2-3 times a week with similar pitch counts you have mentioned. He has almost always thrown on off days when the weather permits. The arm needs to get used to the throwing motion to develop good muscle memory and strength and that only happens by repetiotion.
mine did all this stuff as well, as tpm say's the better players get used more often. i know mine was. ( tj surgery at 20)
players should never catch and pitch, just no good reason to throw every pitch in every game.
this ride is a one timer, with one arm, take care of it. learn what's important, in the grand scheme of things. a 10 yr old has never signed a pro contract. but they dream of it.
