Here is one article I came up with.

FWIW, my son's BF mom told me when down in Alabama many years ago, Dr. Andrews was already treating 9 and 10 year old pitchers for injury. I do beleive there in those injuries has resulted in current recommendations. I do beleive there have been 9 and 10 years olds requiring surgery down in Alabama. Also while up in STL last summer, the doctor told me the best thing I ever did for son was limit his pitching time when younger (he began at 8-9) and play other sports.
No issues with young players pitching and throwing off days, the issue has become pitching AND catching at the same time. This, IMO, is overuse, the biggest culprit to injuries for young players.
