Solving baseball’s arm-injury epidemic is super complicated, exacerbated by the adversarial relationship between MLB and the union.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio A complex issue for sure.
@PaulHembo @ESPNRadio @Buster_ESPN Or just the fact that starting at an early age players are now taught velocity and speed training vs arm care.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio Keep throwing your arms out. I don't really care. Teach them to pitch instead of throwing 105 MPH. Stop nibbling and go after hitters. Cut your pitch count. Make the ballparks bigger again.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio This is whatnit sounds like to talk baseball without ever having played baseball
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio The focus is wrong. Focus more on the overuse youth players growing year round and ego of their parents.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio I'll say this though, if today's umps gave 6" off each side like yesteryear baseball would have soccer scores because pitchers would still max out. It's not possible to hit 98+ off a 29" plate. VERY complex issue to be sure.
@PaulHembo @Foxworth24 @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio Make any pitch over 95 MPH an automatic ball. Fixed.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio Yes kids need to learn how to pitch. That's not going to happen until someone reduces "how to pitch" into a set of measurables.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio Not really that hard.
@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @ESPNRadio Obsession with spin rate is it
