In general, a child can start throwing a fastball at age 8, a change-up at 10, and a curveball at 14. All other pitches should not be introduced until high school age.
Improper techniques is a major factor in injury potential.
Conditioning of the throwing arm and entire body can reduce a young pitcher's risk of injury.
