re: How long is Paul Skenes arm going to hold up?

Throwing 100mph fastballs is less damaging to an arm than a pitcher that throws more sliders than anything else

I always thought that too, which works in Skenes favor, but that's not actually what a whole lot of articles out there say. I googled. A lot of articles say a lot depends on velocity and usage. There's not consistent research either way, but a lot of the recent stuff says velocity and usage.
