So lets let this kid blow his arm out before the season is over, make sense. He hasnt pitched since May, smh. Par for the course, thats why none of these pitching prospects have panned out.

93% of his pitches over 100 mph, thats a recipe for disaster for an 18 year old kid.

I swear BGP has become so much more readable since his posts don't show up for me any more.

So you don't want him pitching then? You think he should go SS full time?

 

What is the appropriate age to throw 100?

Its not that he can reach 100, its that hes throwing nothing but 100. At that rate he will be Dr. Andrews best client before he is 21.

For your information it's not fastballs that hurt your arm, it's curves and sliders that cause most of the problems.
