This needs to be repeated. MLB pitchers get hurt so much more now than in the early 1900's because they are taught to throw with much more violence. Their bodies are pushed to the limit. How many times do you see a middle school kid NEED to ice his arm down after throwing 2 games in a day at a tournament. Hell at that age it wouldn't be responsible to teach a kid to throw as hard as he possibly could.
