I have always been careful About how much he pitches but I definitely feel playing a lot of games has helped. I have no way of proving that just like no one has any proof of why some kids get hurt and others don't. So I respect all opinions and just try to do the best I can to keep my son safe. But I don't think 60 game a is overkill. JMO.
Curious. What do you allow your son to pitch per game, how many times a week, what other positions and what pitches does he throw? 60 in what amount of time.
