Thanks. That’s interesting. What it seems to me anecdotally is the max-effort goal as you described. Trying to maintain persistent high velocity and the different breaking ball pitches used today both create a lot of stress on the joints and shoulders. Plus, these kids are trying to reach the 90s at younger ages, so there is chronic as well as acute stress. thanks again.
The sideburns make it work. Very Clockwork Orange-ish.
