Reply to "Justin Verlander on the rash of arm injuries this year"

This is a big topic on Twitter right now. And as usual there is a lot of pontificating by non-baseball people about what is going on in baseball. But I believe Verlander has it right. The arm issues are a result of the relentless chase for more velo. Especially with teenagers. And to me the biggest culprits are guys that are running “velocity camps”. These guys are often unqualified grifters that are just trying to make a buck - but they are ruining arms in the process. They use social media to lure impressionable young players (and their peers) into their money making web with false promises. It’s despicable.
