From article in "Collegiate Baseball":

"Dr. Joseph B. Chandler, chairman of the Major League Baseball Medical Advisory Committee, interviewed 30 major and 71 minor league pitchers in 2002 to determine their pitching history. High pitch counts and reports of arm injuries were uncommon and most first threw a curveball at 14 and a slider at 18 years. Year round baseball was uncommon and most played other sports during the year. Professional pitchers reached their elite status without following the excess practices of today." (July, 2004)
