Pitch Smart is an excellent reference. Many well meaning and knowledgable people were involved in developing these guidlines. Your son may be blessed with the right genetics that will help protect his elbow and shoulder, which would be wonderful. But, he might not.

One thing to keep in mind... very few position players develop serious arm injuries as compared to pitchers. This is by far a pitching problem, not a throwing problem.
