Control over use. Control mechanics. Do the right things between outings. Research it. There will still be risk and those numbers will still be high. What are the numbers for those that don't push it, don't play? Very low, congrats.

Pretty much agree with your post. I do find this last statement interesting. With so many different thoughts on arm care and training methods available how would you begin to know? There are big names on both sides of the discussion on arm care and how to develop safely.

Obviously somewhere you need to just make a choice and go with it but that is pretty tough on a player at say 15 or so. Now granted if you thing TJ is just a bump in the road it becomes easier but I doubt most people feel that way.
