The below is from Dr. James Andrews' group. He is the top expert we have in the field:
"Multivariate analysis identified the most significant risk factors for high school and college pitcher injury and need for surgery as: an increased risk of 500% for pitching greater than 8 months per year, 400% for pitching greater than 80 pitches per game, and over 250% for a fastball greater than 85 mph. When regularly pitching despite arm fatigue, the risk for injury requiring surgery increased 3600%. This one factor - fatigue - had the strongest correlation with subsequent arm surgery."
