no dh then. but definteiyl possible now.
i don't bleive any statistically significant cause for concern for dh is possible.. .time will tell
comepltetely different motion on the arm and not just 1 arm etc. still strain on shoulder, but significantly less and a more natural movement (more along the lines of underhand)
fun fact, pro pitchers can probably throw with the sme force on average with an underhand motion.. but that would be too girly
you'd have to develop the mechanics and different muscle groups related.. they are larger muscles too. probably less injuries.
other tnagible reasons it might not work as well: accuracy, spin, faster/slower recognition form batter's point of view etc. velo wouldn't be the problem.
