My son started throwing a slider last year, at age 14. This particular topic came up a few months ago -- about sliders being dangerous for younger players -- and when I told him my concerns, he laughed at me and said if sliders were really dangerous for him to throw, wouldn't his pitching coach and Tom House had said something?

Southpaw_dad, does your son throw one?

Don't know if it makes a difference, but my guy throws over the top. He has a curve that he sometimes struggles to throw for strikes, and a CU he doesn't like to pull out if he's blowing his FB and slider by hitters.
