There is a big difference between the 12-6 LL CB and a ML CB. The LL breaks slowly way out front and if thrown properly does not hurt your arm. The ML CB has a tighter rotation and breaks late at the plate and is harder on the elbow and should be learned when the growth plates are fully developed.

Bobblehead, You lost me ---- Could you explain to me the different ways the pitcher throws the "little League curveball" and the "major league curveball" and why the major league curveball causes injury and the "little league curveball doesn't?
Also, do you think there are such things as a 12-6 ML curveball or a LL Slurve? You don't need to explain the LL vs the ML Fastball --- I basically uderstand the difference between a ML fastball and a LL fast ball ---One IS and one AIN"T!
Could the real difference between the LL curve and the ML curve is that one breaks and one don't?
Lost in the bullpen!
