Not saying "you", but the collective you. Colleges are already avoiding travel ball kids for pitchers and it is going to get worse.


Ive heard of several kids having to have shoulder surgery due to pitching too much in travel ball. That may be what he was alluding too.


The pitching restrictions in travel ball now are way more restrict than most any rec ball that your kids will play. The problem is when you have a stud kid that wants to play every weekend and momma and daddy want them to play there is a team willing to pick them up and they are way over used. This is not the organizations fault it is the parents fault. You have to know when enough is enough.
