Kerry Wood famously threw 175 pitches in a high school state championship game. - David May 15, 08:25 5
- Too many pitches play a part in all these injuries, but why didn't as many injuries occur back when throwing 150 pitches in a game was the norm? - Inigo May 15, 08:31 4
  - The power in the game now is beyond what the body can sustain. - Will Hunting May 15, 08:35
  - a part of it is conditioning. a part of it is the amount of time these kids play. - groiny May 15, 08:33
  - high pitch count combined with speed - there are way more guys throwing at close to 100mph than there used to be -- nm - decline May 15, 08:32 1
    - I am sure it is a combination of many, many factors. - groiny May 15, 08:35
