Proper pitching and throwing mechanics should be stressed from T-ball
up. Most bad habits start at an early age and linger throughout their
career. Good habits enable a baseball player to throw harder,
with more accuracy, and most importantly to have fewer injuries! Most
youth baseball programs emphasize limiting the number of innings
pitched in a game and per week. This is only part of the story.
If a child has an elevated pitch count in a particular inning(s)
and possibly in combination with improper mechanics, arm damage can
occur as early as 10 years old!
This website attempts to provide information on proper pitching
mechanics and care of the upper arm and elbow.
