BAD in Youth Athletes

Rest for throwing Athletes

We usually suggest no athlete should be pitching for more than 7 months

Maybe pitch for 2 seasons then focus on fielding and hitting

Pitchers should not play pitcher and catcher as well

James Andrews – you should not throw a curve ball until you can shave

Mechanics is key during the pitch

Fastball and changeup are very effective for youth athletes

Medial elbow pain is number one

The posterior cuff is sore on the Youth Athlete after almost every pitching outing

Flex 

Rotation

Cross body abduction

Is it GIRD or adaptation?
