I agree Bundy’s work ethic may have been a bit too much and played a part in all his injury troubles. 

Bundy was able to make himself the best high school prospect in the country, but he threw too much at a young age causing long term arm problems. 

This is what I believe. I’ve seen it a bunch over the years. I saw Shane Baz at 13, and he was all arms and legs, a baby deer. But you could see him growing into a stud. He was protected and handled correctly. He just went down with TJ surgery, but he was developed very well as a young arm.

As far as long toss, it has to be done correctly, but I think it is huge in developing arms. It is actually thought to be a stretching routine, but it strengthens the muscles too. Some of these guys take it to an extreme, obviously. I have seen various studs over the years throw from foul pole to foul pole. And do so with ease in MLB spring training stadiums.
