Los Angeles Times:
“Wilk said the dangers of overuse can be found in a simple equation: "Its pretty obvious that if you throw a lot, and you throw when youre fatigued, and you throw hard all the time, and you dont have recovery and dont do exercises, youre going to get hurt," he said. "If you dont get hurt, youre in a really small minority."
