rubber arm
Overworked throwing limb
Rubber arm describes a pitcher's arm that can handle heavy workloads without fatigue or injury.
A pitcher with a rubber arm can throw many innings across consecutive games: He's got a rubber arm—threw 120 pitches yesterday and wants the ball again today.
The term suggests the arm bounces back like rubber rather than wearing down.
