“These kids are not just throwing year-round, they’re competing year-round, and they don’t have any time for recovery. More is better. So year-round baseball is No. 1. No. 2 is playing in more than one league at the same time, where rules don’t count. And, of course, in showcases, where they’re pitching for scouts, they try to overpitch and they get hurt.”
From New York Times
