Athletes are bigger, stronger, so yes, there was going to be an increase in velocity. But I just feel we are way too cautious with kids and throwing these days. Yes, when I grew up there were kids who threw their arms out becuase their coach ran them into the ground and they didn't say anything. But that era also produced Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens....we CAN throw more innings. My issue is this is more about protection for financial gain. Maybe we need to rethink pitching. The Reds brought up kid a month ago named Andrew Abbott. He's had 6 starts, has a 4-1 record with a ERA under 2, goes 5-7 innings per start. He tops out at about 94-95, but he COMMANDS 3 other pitches. Instead of just focusing on velocity with young pitchers, let's teach guys to actually pitch. The Reds have another kid on their team Hunter Greene, #1 overall pick back in 2018, 105 MPH. He's never pitched a full season yet. He's been on innings limits his entire life. Abbott has done more in 6 starts than Greene has in a year and a half.
