Conclusions: Pitchers in this age group should be cautioned about throwing breaking pitches (curveballs and sliders) because of the increased risk of elbow and shoulder pain. Limitations on pitches thrown in a game and in a season can also reduce the risk of pain. Further evaluation of pain and pitching mechanics is necessary.

Hey, I agree with the conclusion. I just disagree with being able to implement some sort of ban. To prove my point: In 50 words, or less, try to put into words a 1) definition of a curveball, and 2) a way for an umpire to determine if this pitch is being thrown.
