Not baseball, pitching. If you can't even measure the difference in injury risk between a pitcher and most positions played on the field, you shouldn't even be talking about this with any sort of authoritative tone. It doesn't matter if you buy it or don't. Facts are facts. Pitchers have the highest rate of attrition of any sport, including rugby and even RB's in football. Some pitchers may manage to last longer, but most guys don't even get past college without a catastrophic injury. Please don't make stuff up.
