Reply to "Staying well-armed ... Young pitchers are increasingly at risk of injury"

The problem here is that you all are putting too much emphasis on the arm.  The arm is only one small part of the entire process.  Expose young players to other activities that incorporates the entire body. I agree, they have no idea how to work out properly, but you can teach simple pylo and bandwork and it should not be position specific becase at very early ages they should be playing different positions, as well as other sports.

Skylark you crack me up.   You argue that ml pitchers can't command the change up yet your son will be using it to cut down on overuse?   Why not just pitch to contact and let the  defense take over?
BTW how is recruiting coming along for your son?  Where will sign with a college program or head off to play proball?
