That is another thing to look at…. How has the emergence of travel ball affected arm injuries…There is innings limits in travel ball as well so they can’t pitch a kid continuously….. typically, at the youth travel ball level….. kids throw a small bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday and then pitch on the weekends….. is it still too much? I don’t know…… I do think some of the training methods have negative effects on kids….. I’m very much against throwing weighted baseballs….. I feel it is bad on those young arms.Who funded those studies, travel ball coaches? The problem is travel ball coaching. They want to win so bad they will risk a young persons arm before it is mature enough to handle that type of workload. The reason Nolan Ryan could handle it is because his arm had developed before he pitched 235 pitches in a game. Youth sports are causing problems with major league sports.
perfect mechanics and had the strongest legs on the Team. Met him twice and a nice guy too. He came and gave lessons/etc when I taught at Jim Rice Baseball School to all the kids. They say he can go out now and still throw mid eighties at his age. He really took care of himself. Said he hurt on time at the Mets and would never happen again.Nolan was also a genetic freak who threw mostly with his legs.

Look at all the complete games Bob Gibson had in his career and mechanics were not good but fit freak and a no nonsense pitcher. A hard throwerWho funded those studies, travel ball coaches?
