re: The case against Travel Ball by Dr. James Andrews

I've seen this before. My son is part of a motion study that Andrews does where they follow young pitchers from 9 until they quit. They are trying to find a causal effect to youth arm injuries.


Travel ball is like anything else. Done right with the right intentions, its great. Done for the wrong reasons, its awful. My son wanted to play baseball and that's all he ever wanted to do. We tried to get him into other sports, but he just didn't care for anything like he did baseball. He didn't make the freshman team at high school this year (daddy ball). He's working out and gonna keep trying until he makes it. At least that what he says!
