There's been a lot of debate about that jcb. The act of throwing a baseball is not natural to the arm, and throwing heaters or changes likely does damage too. Breaking pitches are probably worse. Do you think they should be outlawed at the LL level? BTW, I envy you for being able to throw a nasty one at 12, Lord knows I tried.
