These two are one in the same.
Not even close to the same. This thinking is another reason for so many injuries.
There are tons and tons of kids throwing hard with bad mechanics that lead to arm soreness and injuries.
The mechanics can be improved and the pain goes away and the stress on the arm is decreased.

Has anyone ran the numbers to see what the number of Arm Injuries were before Dunn arrived and since Dunn has been here? Also, how do our Arm Injury numbers compare with other programs across the country?

The thing is that you have guys with great mechanics who don’t throw hard and their UCL tears.
You have guys with terrible mechanics who throw hard that have zero arm problems.
Then the opposite of both of those are true. Guys who seemingly do everything right still have Tommy John surgery every year. It’s frustratingly baffling on what’s causing it because it effects every type of pitcher and that’s what makes it so hard to fix.

quote:I don't care what you do. Throwing 90+ is going to stress the arm somewhere. It's the laws of physics. Potential energy to kinetic from the legs and torso through the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. But the most potential is stored in the shoulder and elbow if you want to throw your hardest. Period. There's no way around that. Throwing in its simplest form is using our soft tissue as a slingshot.
