Reply to "Catcher Throwing Limits"

My son was a HS and travel league catcher and sometimes he'd end up catching 3 or even 4 games in 2 days or HS games 4 days in a row. Invariably, his knees and elbow would start getting sore, but he only had significant discomfort once or twice. When that was happening and he still played in games, he'd throw pitches back to the pitcher with much less oomph and between inning throw downs too (like 2/3rds effort). The HC understood he knew what he was doing and when he needed to make a hard throw. You have to let your son be his own staunch advocate for his health.
