Sidearm Throwing OF'er From Down Under

"Should I keep throwing sidearm in the outfield?

I have been playing baseball for a few years now and even before that no matter what I threw I always did it sidearm. Once I started playing baseball I became a centre fielder, and I still threw sidearm no matter what distance. Is this extremely bad for my arm. Throughout the season on and off i get pain in my elbow."

my response:
No...stay on top of your OF throws to keep them on a line. You're throwing sidearm because it's your strongest release point so it's not bad for your arm...it just plays havoc with your your cutoff man and throws to a base or home plate. Again, you need to throw on a line, and you can't do that by throwing sidearm.
