Dusty Baker will find a way to ruin Cueto's arm as well. Volquez just had Tommy John surgery - thanks Dusty. I really don't know how many young pitchers he'll ruin before GMs realize what a lousy handler of young pitchers he is.
He puts ball down by his leg, arm full extended. The palm of his hand facing 1B. Then he snaps his elbow up, over his shoulder, getting ready to throw. That puts way too much torque on his elbow.
pitching too much doesn't lead to TJ surgery, shitty mechanics do!
Tell that to Jesse Foppert - great mechanics and ruined by Baker. If too many innings don't injure young pitchers, why does every organization put limits on the number of innings their young pitchers are allowed to throw?
Players would throw both games of double headers back in the day. They didn't get hurt. Look at the number of innings Cy Young threw. That is Ridiculous! That's right, he must have been hurt every year, how else can you have 800 decisions? and he's mechanics weren't even the best!
