Too Much Baseball Pitching Could Damage Kids
Throwing more than 100 pitches a week could impede shoulder development for teenagers and young adults. Â
That’s according to researchers in Philadelphia who have identified an overuse injury in baseball players that could lead to rotator cuff tears. Â
Doctors recommend pitchers ages 15 to 18 — play no more than two games per week and throw no more than 50 pitches per game.Â
