Disagree all you want. I won’t be rude or anything but I’ve almost written a book about this subject. The biomechanics of the curveball are almost completely identical to the fastball. My opinion is shared by Dr. James Andrews

I agree. There may be minor effects of throwing curveballs, but for most kids it's sheer volume. Kids 13 or 14 years old should.t be throwing 100 pitches in a game or 2 or 3 days in a row.

Who also said a kid shouldn't throw a curveball until he can shave.

The worst 12-year-old curve ball in the world will strike out 12-year-old hitters, but what does that prove?
