Reply to "College pitching coaches...what do they actually do?"

There have been lots of discussions on why injuries happen so often.

Pitching development has been great at stuff like increasing velo and pitch design but injury reduction so far wasn't successful, it even seems to get worse.

A lot of stuff gets blamed for this: youth pitcher overuse, weighted balls, throwing hard and now even pitch design gets targeted because some guys think certain pitches like the sweeper are more likely to hurt the arm.

So far there isn't any real evidence for any of those theories, a lot has been tried and so far nothing really helped.

Even the smartest teams in mlb with the best player development have a ton of injuries, so I guess there isn't a solution yet.
