BHD,
Of course I'm not 100% positive these boys needed surgery strictly from curveballs, but it seems more than a coincidence. I would bet that throwing cb with bad mechanics had something to do with it.
These two kids did not play 100 games a year. They played rec ball and all star Cal Ripken, no travel bb.. Maybe 20 competitive games a year so I don't think it was from over use. It might have been from throwing when they had tender arms which could have compounded a smaller problem into a major injury.
