I Googled ASMI=American sports medicine institute & found an article at the top the page called Arm pain in youth pitchers, "the major fidings of the study were;
*the incidence of elbow or schoulder pain increased with the # of pitches thrown in a game.
*the incidence of elbow or shoulder pain increased with the # of pitches thrown in a season.
*pitchers who threw curveballs or sliders had greater incidence of pain than those who did`nt.
*no relationship between poor mechanics and increased risk of pain could be established.

based upon the results from this study,it is recommended pitchers between 9 and 14 years old
do not throw curveball or slider.These pitchers should utilize the fastball and change up exclusively.It goes on to talk about pitch counts.

Bobblehead is this the ASMI you are talking about?

Good post, WCB.
