[QUOTE="twofortheroad, post: 301131, member: 2854"] The one thing to know about pitchers is that some injuries don't necessarily occur in the year for the year but are an issue that has developed over time and pretty much it just hit the fan the year they played college baseball. Look at the Clemson pitcher Higginbotham, he played for Buford and the school used him excessively - I had heard that he racked up 160 pitch games in his time at Buford. Gets to college and having a standout freshman spring and what happens...he has TJ surgery. From what I see he's not back yet, maybe throwing but he has no game stats for 2017. You can't attribute that to anything he did at Clemson, maybe you can but I would put money on the fact that it was overuse over time. An injury is personal...bad genes, overuse, fluke...it happens. I think it's more the question with pitchers of letting them find what works and not using a cookie cutter format, perhaps something that we the public perceive is an injury is just putting all the pieces together and that's why they are not in. I know we realize that just because you can pitch in college doesn't mean that you can pitch on the next level. Some of the toughest pitching to hit for a good batter in college is slower and finessed pitching. College and Pro goals are very different. I really can't speak to any injury at Tech but some of the situations that I am aware of there are hereditary as well as flukes. From what I can see right now, there isn't any injured pitchers except for English (out for the year), Parr seems to be due to his absence but haven't seen an announcement. Thomas, the freshman, from what I have heard here on these forums is academics. Hughes' last year was hereditary that caused an issue but the type of "injury" he had, many don't realize it and are in the big leagues right now with it. [/QUOTE]
