Many HS players spend the summer months not only playing for a "elite" showcase travel team on the weekend as well as on a local team during the week with their buddies.
For pitchers this can be a disaster for their arm because they think they are invincible and will overuse themselves. The same can be said for catchers because they are not used to the burden. Showcase teams play anywhere from 40 to 50 games during the summer.That is nearly three times what the HS players in the Northeast play.It can be a taxing summer for some players bodies. Then if you add in local games during the week you have a recipe for a potential disaster.
My advice is to be prudent in your actions. You do not want to end up with a tired body and an overused arm.
Good luck with the summer action !!!1
