So in summary, you can clock the kid, but share the results only with him or keep them to yourself. Kids trying to out do each other leads to injuries.
Can you tell me how many kids that you have personally witnessed get injured while "throwing for the gun"? Accordingly, there must be hundreds that get hurt at PG events every year.
I have never seen a pitcher get hurt like this, and I have been doing this a long time.
When you gun a team, the kids get excited for the first pitch or two, then they don't even know you are there for the rest of the game/season.
We should ban grandma from watching little Johnny also. He might try to throw too hard.
This is a silly myth that doesn't pass the slightest bit of scrutiny, and it's a shame that ASMI pushes it.
