Reply to "What age to start throwing curve?"

No problem. My point was that it broke early and was released high . I have never measured when it broke but simply meat it broke way out front.
The CB he throws now is thrown way out front and has the snap tp it that is a lot more stressfull than when he was younger.
The poster posed a question and in my opinion if taught a CB at an early age it is possible to teach a safe way.
I also think it depends on the pitchers body type. Long skinny loose arms tend to be very durable. There are also guys with very strong arms that I have seen throw CBs who have been injured at 17-18 when they started throwing BCs. I personally believe the age has little to do with it. It is all about throwing properly and great arm conditioning. Neither will garantee no arm problems.
