re: Should college pitchers be pitching in the fall?

Mazzone really had the right idea and it showed as his pitchers really never had arm issues.

Throw more at less exertion. Find your most fluid mechanics and practice it.

I do know Andrews is less pitches less stress.


I think the biggest issues into arm troubles is initially caused in Travel Ball and Little League. Coaches not knowing what they are doing are damaging elbows and shoulders. Teaching pitches incorrectly. It is my belief that no kid should throw anything but a Fastball until age 14. You can teach 2 and 4 to them and pressure points for movement. It does not matter what is thrown, if thrown right, you will get people out.
