Yet here you are saying the velo increase is because they’re throwing too much.

Nope, I’ve clearly stated it’s a combination of factors and the hunt for velocity is one of them.

If it’s just velocity, everyone would get injured that’s hitting high numbers. That’s not happening.

Some have better mechanics that results in less stress on the elbow. Some have better musculature, stability and flexibility to help prevent injury.
Some played multiple other sports all through high school and did not specialize in baseball and thus have less mileage on their arm.

The injury is a result of many factors.
