Stop the pitching carnage.
.
Now.
.
We know just where to start.
.
Youth baseball.
.
No more children playing all through the year, with hardly a break between
seasons. No more youngsters throwing sliders and splitters and all sorts
of pitches that put too much stress on their still-developing arms. And
certainly no more high schoolers dishing up 194 pitches in a single game.
.
With baseball in the midst of what looks increasingly like an epidemic of
elbow injuries and Tommy John surgeries, it's time for someone to
acknowledge that a big part of the problem can surely be traced to our
overworked kids. They are enduring far too much wear and tear on their
immature bodies - their arms especially - in a misguided quest to make it
to the big leagues.
.
Those few who do make it often pay a heavy price.
.
"Most of the major leaguers and minor leaguers that come into our practice
with ligament problems," says Dr. James Andrews, who has performed
countless Tommy John operations over his long career, "if you take a good,
close look at their histories, a large part of them link back to some
minor injury as a kid.
.
"It started in youth baseball. That's the real culprit."
.
The major league brass is so concerned that it plans to hold a summit in
New York next week, bringing in experts such as Andrews to figure out why
so many of the game's top hurlers have been stricken with this devastating
injury, some for the second time.
.
The Atlanta Braves probably qualify for a Tommy John BOGO, considering
they've already sent three pitchers (Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy and Cory
Gearrin) to the operating table this year, and are still hoping for the
return of reliever Jonny Venters, who underwent the procedure last year.
Medlen, Beachy and Venters all have two Tommy Johns on their medical
charts - and none has celebrated his 30th birthday.
