Hello! I am new here and I have a few questions…My son is eight years old and this is his first year pitching. He is an amazing talent and could really go far with his arm. He is currently pitching at 65 mph and is about 60% acurate with throwing a strike. He is going into the third grade and I find this amazing. I cannot catch his balls without ending up with black and blue fingers the next day!
What can I do to help his arm so that he does not receive any injuries. Is it good for an eight year old to be throwing so fast and hard at a young age? I am very proud of him, but I want to make sure that this doesn’t lead to injuries years down the road. Also, are there any very good National baseball camps I can send him to in the future to ensure he has the best technique and training? Thanks
Trish
