I agree with all that. Just tired of being called an idiot by someone(not you) that is listening to sound bites and headlines without diving into the subject.. My sons a good player, average pitcher with average velocity for his age.. He enjoys pitching and has good location but nothing overpowering.. His knuckle curve is good for a change of pace every so often but can get rocked if thrown to much.. figure as his age and velocity uptick that a slider will be a better option. In the end, he may not even sniff the mound in high school but he wants to give it a go.
From the limited people I know that have children that suffered through Tommy John, many believe a genetic component played a part.. the research is all over the place but the common denominators seem to usage..

Trola your kid should throw what’s effective. If he can be successful with average velocity throwing breaking balls let him do it. Go out and work on it with him. Have him practice the pitches when he warms up.
Not all kids are going to be college baseball players. Reasonable precautions should be taken with pitch counts and total work of the arm. In all reality its almost impossible to prevent arm pain. The best plan is to reduce volume when the player has pain!
If a kid throws some curves and his arm hurts more than normal...stop throwing them for a while and try it another time. Its not rocket science.

started my son on curveball and changeups at 6. For any chance to get to majors you need them to start by 8 at the latest.
MLB did a study that showed that this was true.
