I think it's a problem for the sports themselves to address, not the government. For example, the MLB/colleges could choose to punish junior programs that recklessly encourage unsafe practices.  

Yeah. To throw hard and pitch well you need to throw a lot. Throwing hard a lot will eventually mess up something, either your elbow or shoulder. 

I hear it's really bad for their arms, especially thet young. The problem is, how do you regulate that? If a kid wants to go to the best college, he netter throw that ball hard.

What are children doing at too young of an age?

Apparently it's not actually good for their health, that they're pushing for such speed.

Personally, I really think Americans (and other countries too?) need to re-evaluate the priority of children's sports.  But I'm not much of a sports fan so I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️
