Kids throw a lot harder at younger ages now due to improved knowledge of the mechanics to throw harder along with improved strength training and young pitchers throw a lot more now due to (almost) year round pitching. UCL complete tears are usually due to an accumulation (over time) of micro-tears.Thanks for adding!
Happy holidays!
Hmmm? So specifics in the mechanics causes some pitchers to injure their elbow.
Roger Clemens was only throwing in the upper 80’s when he came out of HS where you now have lots of kids, throwing almost year round, who are throwing in the mid 90’s (or higher).
I am sure there is a genetic and mechanics component to it as well.
