Excessive Pitching and Improper Mechanics:

  • There is an epidemic in America of sore and damaged pitching arms caused by excessive pitching and improper throwing mechanics. Pitching, particularly for adolescent arms that are still growing, puts an enormous amount of strain on joints and tendons. Injuries to wrists, elbows, rotator cuffs, ligaments, and tendons can result from excessive pitching but can be largely avoided if players and coaches follow a few simple guidelines and adhere to common sense. Your Sandlot Sports pitching experts will work with you to establish a reasonable pitching regiment for you or your player that is designed to maximize results while minimizing injury.
