Teach the value of pitching instead of lighting up a radar gun, plus good mechanics that emphases the use of torso and legs like the great drop and drivers of the past, and teach 'em they don't have to strike out everyone they face and you'll have guy who will pitch over 200 innings without getting hurt.
Charlie Hough? Is it actually possible for a Knuckleballers arm to "Blow out" , Usually they are a Knuckleballer because they already "blew out" their arm
The rest of the stuff is correct however LOL
