Thanks for letting us know.

I am extremely busy nowadays, especially with the added responsibility of strengthening my arm after I had surgery from Dr. Andrews, who told me that starting to pitch at the age of 9 most likely had a direct correlation with the tear of my UCL. But, if anyone does have some spare time, I invite you to pose this question on the ASMI message boards:

"Does the age at which one starts to pitch potentially have a bearing on if they will be injured later on?"

I have a hunch, Skylark, that you may not like the responses you see.

But then again, you probably wouldn't listen to them either. They haven't coached your son and his friends like you have...and that experience is infinitely more accurate.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
