Younger ages are tough. Rosters are much smaller, parent/coach drive to win the games are much higher and arm health isn't top of mind.

I want to see a test youth game played where 2 strikes is a strikeout and 3 balls is a walk to see how different the game actually is. (If your a purist, it's ok to roll your eyes)

All the time my son was in HS, every fall the team would play in a league down at a local JC and 2 strikes was a K and 3 walks a BB. They weren’t doing it for arm health although I’m sure that was a side effect. But for youth ball(12u), I strongly suspect using a ball that was smaller in circumference and lighter in weight would do a lot more for pitcher arm health.
