Most of the guys I know who have had arm injury are catchers and FB pitchers

Exactly! My kid is a catcher and did not pitch. I felt sorry for those 11 year old kids that were pitching 100-120 pitches per game not realizing my kid was throwing more than they were. In 12/06, he threw down to 2nd to end a practice and...pop. He torn his ulnar tendon (I guess its called LL elbow). I just didn't think about how much catcher's throw but I do now and I treat my kids arm like a pitchers.

P.S. The story ends well. After being in a cast for 4 weeks and taking another 4 weeks to loosen it up and get strength back, he is as good as new. In fact, his arm is even stronger because he started arm excercises as part of rehab which he never did before.
