re: *2024 ARKANSAS RAZORBACK SEC BASEBALL SEASON THREAD*

Either Trevor Bauer or Trevor May had a pretty interesting take on the uptick in injuries that I really hadn't considered, can't remember who it was off the top of my head. A lot of people pin it on everyone chasing velocity, which I think is true, but he thinks it's the specific way in how they're getting that velo.

To paraphrase quite a bit, essentially he says that you have to be physically strong to throw hard, so now everyone is getting strong. The issue with that is that getting strong enough allows you to be inconsistent with other factors in your velo like wind-up cadence and release timing and just brute force the velo with sheer power, and that's causing unnecessary amounts of strain on arms.
