Thanks for the input Baseball Mom.

I am sure that a limited amount of 8th graders make the freshman team. I think that is kind of weird that they allow 8th graders on the H.S. team anyway. I wonder how many other states do it that way.

I guess right now I was thinking about travel ball and how many kids my son's age already throw the curve and have been doing it for some time now. Will my son be at a disadvantage without the experience under his belt? How long does it take to learn to throw the curve well enough to use it in a game?

Also, I would like to hear from anyone.... have you known of a youth pitcher that threw the curve early on and had arm/shoulder problems?
