Reply to "Eric cressey article on pitcher overuse"

MIDATLANTICDAD,

Guess what, the percentage of pitchers having TJ surgery from the Dominican is exactly the same percentage of pitchers having TJ surgery here. Since they play year around, shouldn't it be much higher?

Stats,

We have well over 100 Dominican's attend our showcases every year. In fact we just finished a showcase in Florida that had many Latin Americans including a dozen or so Dominicans. Several of them are pitchers 15-16 years old. Dominicans can sign at age 16. Couple were throwing in the 90s, one up to 94 that will end up very happy he was there.

The idea that Dominicans don't showcase would be wrong. If anything the top Dominican players showcase as much as the top Players here.
