Pitching Limits in Youth Baseball: Concerns & Potential Solutions

Question
I agree with you on more study needs to be done. Our daughter pitches and I think the coaches easily overuse pitchers to win. Good judgement goes out the window in favor of winning. What are the proper procedures on getting this to be looked into becoming a rule? Thanks!

Answer
I wish I knew, Lori. I'd say until things are changed at the college and international level, things will never filter down to our kids. You could start a letter writing campaign aimed at the NCAA about the subject, but without some expert medical backing and support from college coaches, I doubt anything would be done. I wish I could be more helpful, sorry.
