To my knowledge, neither Lang or Poche' had any arm problems during there freshmen season.
I don't remember Poche's freshman year, but Lange skipped a start his freshman year. Had kind of a dead arm thing, which can be worked through. He was fine after that. It was also a way to manage his workload.

Most don't, but if someone does have arm issues their freshman season it's not because of their college coach. Those arm injuries don't happen overnight. It's a culmination of years of overuse and/or genetics. It has become an epidemic in baseball because of how much earlier kids are overusing their arms and how many games they throw at an early age. Kids 20-30 years ago weren't playing 70+ games of travel ball every year pre-adolescence. That has become the norm. Even when I was a kid in the early 90s, we didn't play nearly as many games as kids did 10 years later. If people try to blame Mainieri for arm issues our pitchers have that is just ignorance, plain and simple. Most of these injuries have just been ticking time bombs before the kids ever step foot on campus.
