Also while the lure of $$$$ might be a reason for risk.  The main reason, by far, for overuse is the lure of winning.  Sometimes even winning a game tha t has little importance.  The stories we hear of  pitchers throwing 150 or more pitches have very little to do with the lure of dollars or scholarships.  They have everything to do with a coach that is willing to ruin someone's arm in order to win a game.

I don't dispute that. However there are many players in the recruiting phase who will attend showcases and many camps  all through winter when spring and summer or fall is fine. The mode of thinking is that they have to be continually seen to get a scholarship, or seen by scouts week after week.
