How often do you see elbow injuries from pitchers at this age? Honest question. Not trying to sound like the guy who says kids shouldn’t be throwing breaking balls at this age. I did it myself and messed my elbow up pretty good by the end of my playing days but I also didn’t have the level of coaching these kids most likely do and we rarely did any strength training. The game has changed a lot in a short amount of time with the emphasis on data which probably helps with keeping correct form. Thanks again for posting these games and keep up the good work.
#1 any parent of these kids will never tell you anything but "yes its totally fine to throw sliders and curveballs at 11/12U" There is tons of data that shows the growth plates in ANY kids arm are not sealed yet and are significantly effected by pitches like curveballs and sliders at this age. This is not an argument, its proven data. But hey do these coaches/ atmosphere strike you as well read people....prob not. Oh who am I? I have scouted talent for 4 D1 Baseball programs across 5 states for 10+ years.
@@Sentinel_eye I agree with you. I have elbow problems to this day from throwing a curveball at 11. No matter how long I throw I can never get warm and the pain the next day is always the same regardless if I throw 1 ball or 100 balls. I was just wondering if anything has changed in the past 20 years in development because I’ve been out of the game for so long.
@@JOSHPENA13 Tommy John Surgery has sky rocketed since travel baseball has become so prevalent. Not only are they throwing to much, they throw WAY to many breaking balls. Anyone that thinks its okay to throw a slider at 12U is out of their mind. A good 12/6 curve thrown properly by boys this size is one thing. But your average 12u kid has no business throwing breaking balls.
What’s the point of all these kids wearing sliding mits if they slide feet first? I thought they were worn to protect from jamming fingers or being stepped on. It’s just looks 90% of the time correct….
its for when you are diving back to the base on a pick off. a lot of the time the ball is thrown high and the first/second/third baseman has to jump and it can be dangerous with your fingers right under their feet (especially with metal cleats)
They see the big guys do it. It’s like the wrist guards, elbow guards, ankle guards, etc. Kids will be wearing a suit of armor to the plate in 5 years.
Truth is these any many coaches like these coach's teach or support "look good play good" philosophy. Its about having the item, not the actual use of the item. Don't believe me look at the full face eye black that serves no purpose other than aesthetics.

I can tell you one thing about players today. The arm care these guys are doing would definitely prevent a lot of injuries
@@JOSHPENA13 wish I would have came along a little bit later. We didn’t even have those weighted balls almost every pitcher uses to get loose today

Is like leaving home without your car keys. Got to be ready at all times

Just so you know……a “hack” is a swing, not a hit ball….
im zesty
maybe add a scoreboard or update the score between innings for each game.
I got you!
thanks man
@@JOSHPENA13I second this guys idea. Love the content
I’m the one who hit the Homerun
Nice hack fam
ZT is the best
Coaches son 1st baseman is terrible
He’s 12. Better yourself before you worry about others.

@@JOSHPENA13 yo I love your content and yes no hate on the kid he’s a good player but I just don’t see him being on that team
My sons 13 hitting them about 375 hit his first 300 ft shot at 10
