Who said anything about banning curve balls ? Dr. James Andrews, whom I'm
sure most here have heard of, has done extensive studies on youth pitchers,
as explained in my previous post. All he said, (that I saw), was that "Pitchers in this age group should be cautioned about throwing breaking pitches.." , and that there was a corrolation
between arm pain and the number of pitches thrown in a game and in a season.
