Reply to "Is early "velocity training" a reason for the pitching injury increase?"

Yes that seems to be the philosophy here. Let's do all we can to improve velocity. What they fail to realize is that most do not actually gain full velocity until they mature physically and you don't have to throw 95 to play in college. But they all want their sons to big fish in a big pond asap and they have no idea about top 25-50 D1 programs. There is so much more to it.

There is no reason why youth pitchers need to throw as hard as they are these days and as much as they do. No reason for radar guns or programs to improve velocity at such a young age. All types of gimmicks helping parents to spend money they don't have to.
