I like the study. It would be interesting to see it done with softball pitchers. With the shoulder and elbow injuries that seem to be on the rise, it is a good time to use this type of technology in FP.

@cb - in your experience which injuries have you seen? Lets say starting at 14u.

@colin- thats a good question, in fp say 70(a few blessed with dna throw harder) is the elite flame thrower, what is the equalivent of Maddux in fp? 62?

Mostly, I have seen shoulder injuries. Some are from trying to turn the ball over either for a screwball or drop and the pitcher over exaggerates the movements or lifts the shoulder. Recently, from some of the pitchers I know, they have had a sense of losing feeling in their fingers. That is scary and I believe it is not unlike what some of the MLB pitchers are experiencing like Carpenter with the Cardinals. I think it is called, "Thoracic outlet syndrome." I don't see as many elbow problems as with baseball but there have been a few. Anyone else notices these things?
