I'm seeing a rash of injuries now at 12u. One of the kids on our team never pitches or catches, and he plays different sports all year round (cross country in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring). And he still developed a crack/fracture in the growth plate in his elbow. It's frustrating. I really don't know at this point what the cause is. I am beginning to think that it is something in each individual's body, and not something that we can prevent.
