Reply to "Should college baseball have pitch count rules"

My question for the injured guys who throw a ton of sweepers, did they ever feel pain or soreness leading up to the injury?

My son did not. He went off to play summer ball, came back, took maybe a week off from throwing and started up again. That's when he felt something. Didn't think it was out of the ordinary but after it didn't go away went and got it checked out.

Also FWIW my oldest for the last few years has been about year round throwing, doesn't really shut it down. My youngest does shut it down usually at the end of the summer.

Kevin Vance the Arizona PC was on Cressey's podcast last week. He seems to be an advocate of year round throwing, and having pitchers throwing off the mound frequently. IIRC they had a very healthy staff this year.
