He doesn't go into in the audio above, but I think what Andrews is talking about is kids "throwing to the gun." I other words, seeing the gun and trying to overthrow. I think there was another article in which he mentioned seeing several patients who had injured themselves at showcases trying to max out for the radar gun.

I have no doubt that you use your gun to monitor fatigue. But fess up, you did not buy it for that purpose. You bought it to monitor progress in velocity. (Not necessarily a bad thing IMHO).

They show a scary slide headlining that 64% of pitchers with UCL problems threw curveballs.

What they don't tell you is that 100% of them threw fastballs. (that must be really scary)

Then they say that radar guns are a big factor in injuries and "many parents even have radar guns".

Parents with guns like me are monitoring fatigue to prevent injuries. Personally, I don't see why you would want to train a pitcher without a measuring device.
