1. Good throwing mechanics are key to injury prevention
2. Overuse is the #1 risk. Overuse related to >80% effort in pitching motion – “game speed”
3. Strength, endurance, flexibility and Throwers 10 programs can prevent arm injuries.
4. It is OK to be sore for 1-2 days after pitching. It is not OK to pitch or throw with pain.
