PSA: 650 throws‼️ “Our 13-year-old son played in a weekend travel ball tourney. On Monday, we checked the data from his throwing sleeve and found out he made 650 throws in just 2 days!” Name a big leaguer that would pitch 6 innings, catch, and play SS on the same day?
105 pitches at just 9 years old? Something that doesn’t get talked about enough in the conversation about arm injuries in baseball is overuse on the younger levels. My son’s 9u travel baseball team lost to an excellent club — who I won’t name— this past weekend, the opposing…
There is no Tommy John surge this spring -- it's just always this bad since ~2014. Today marks the 100th day of the year, a period during when most elbow injuries occur. We looked at the first 100 days of each year re: TJS procedures for MLB and all pro pitchers since Tommy John…
“Throw less” is terrible advice The game of baseball literally requires you to throw a lot so you might want to be prepared for it especially coming off of an injury “Throw more, gradually over time” and your arm might just thank you for it

🗣️“Children learn how to make good decisions by making decisions, not by following directions.” ~Alfie Kohn
Highly structured, adult-driven approaches to skill learning may also result in an overdependence on explicit forms of skill learning, and subsequently can limit the extent to which skill performance will remain robust under various psychological and physiological stressors…
For all of you Illinois high school student athletes, Illinois recently passed a law providing for automatic admission to Illinois Universities from an Illinois Community College if you meet certain academic requirements. Another reason to consider jucos. @WCCchiefsSB
PARENTS: Don't build your happiness around your kid’s athletic performance. If you get in a bad mood because they played bad, take a break from the game. Your kid needs to have tough performances to learn, not have great performances to make you feel good. 🗣️ @DrBhrettMcCabe

Under discussed in the space of baseball injuries is a lot of people want to solve the issue without putting in too much more work or money than they already do. Telling pitchers to just throw slower versus implementing various tech & monitoring is a good example.

“Velocity matters. Teams want guys who throw hard. As a coach, I’d rather coach a guy who can throw it 95 than 90. Faster is better, but at the same time it’s not the answer to your problems.” -Greg Maddux sports.yahoo.com/pitching-legen…
Saw @T_Zombro24 brought it up in a thread the other day. These injuries that doctors are seeing seem to be an issue of these extreme end range type pitches… essentially pushing guys to supination/pronation limits. Why can’t we look at pronation supination bias as we seem to…
If we're being honest, the likelihood of reducing youth injuries, especially throwing-related, is exceedingly low. This is because the things that would actually help reduce injuries - fewer games, enforcement of pitch count guidelines, having more kids in a team pitch, etc.....
We have severely reduced the number of shoulder injuries and upper arm spiral fractures from the game through better throwing protocols, training, and workload management. Pitchers who would normally suffer these injuries don't simply stay perfectly healthy now.
Something like 37% of MLB arms have had Tommy John surgery. Pretty wild. Every arm has generally dealt with various pitch and innings limits. So are these limits just not working, and not addressing root of issue? Or would injury rates be even higher without them?

We’ve gotten so comfortable with the word “workload” that many people (honestly some orgs) think it means doing LESS when it really means doing the PROPER AMOUNT
Coaches are always wanting to increase speed with the coaching of block starts and sprint mechanics. The truth is, we must sprint consistently 2-3 times a week, in small doses (3 short sprints, timed), and supplement that work with x-factor work (plyos, wickets, med balls, isos,…
