Kids shouldn't even think about throwing breaking stuff until they hit 14(high school age).
Why? They likely won’t get TJ at that age, just little league shoulder/elbow. They’re not gonna make the league anyway so why not do it and have fun?

Yeah the kids supposed common knowledge like “no breaking balls before 14” has absolutely nothing to support it and even has a small amount that says it’s neutral at worst and even detrimental perhaps to wait that long. Really wish that “common wisdom” would die
If I had to take a guess what the cause for explosions in TJ is baseball at this point if you want to be one of the best and have that goal is a 365 day a year sport there’s no off season from the start of like age 7
I wonder how much research things like inning limits, etc, things like this alll intended to avoid injury actually can make it more likely or worse. Someone should probably check it out if they haven’t

They won't get them but it will eventually catch up to them later on.
Hence all the TJS we have seen w/guys still in their lower 20's.
