I dont know shit about baseball but I grew up in adjacent circles as Bryce Harper and from what I've heard the shit they put that kid through growing up was straight up child abuse. Dunno if he ever had this injury tho.

Bryce Harper seems to be doing just fine now

anyway, this has been a argument for a long time now. The amount of baseball and camps parents are willing to put their kids through for a microcosm chance they can even make a D1 program is absurd.

there is zero reason a 12 year old needs to be throwing splitters, curves and sliders while pushing their arm against its limits.

also, as mentioned, baseball is now an all year sport. Spring, fall, summer, travel, indoor. It doesnt end. Its a job for these kids.
