I had a discussion a few weeks ago about Strasburg about it was only a matter of time before he blows it out. The body was not meant to throw 100 mph.. Also, TJ is an every day occurrence. My son 10 played on a 10u travel team. They were 45-1 from last fall to this summer. I could talk all day about the abuse of these kids as far as pitching goes. My son did not pitch because he injured growth plate in March left handed. He throws with both arms. They had kids pitch 4 games in a weekend, a kid catching 6 innings and pitching the final 3 innings in extra innings. Same kid catching 1st game of doubleheader and pitching 3 innings in the 2nd game. It is pure insanity..Watch the LL World Series and the curves and all...
I shut my son down for fall ball. He led team in hitting when he came back from injury, but he may lose spot on this team. All I can say is oh well..
I think these kids playing year round is the problem. Remember that Strasburg pitched in the AFL. You need to have an off season to get stronger, recover and get more athletic.
It is pure insanity..
My 2 cents with the cokkies and milk.
P.S. I would have taken Dusty with 1st pick
