I wonder also whether it's true that injuries and the fear of injuries is increased by the highly specialized way that kids are groomed for the majors now. Instead of being 2- or 3-sport athletes in high school, it's common now for kids to have year-round intensive instruction, and for potential pitchers to be trained for that role virtually non-stop.
So along with being over-muscled chenically, they also might be overmuscled for baseball developmentally.
