That's not near as big of a issue as it's been made.

The bigger issue is that the #1 correlation to getting swing and miss is velocity and and #2 is strikes.

So pitchers are throwing harder than ever and the human body for most folks wasn't built for that.

The human body is a car built to go 92 mph. When guys get over that, the injury rate goes up.

It's the price of poker.
