What are the most common injuries in youth baseball?
Injuries are usually overuse in nature and occur most commonly to the head and face. But the most common overuse problems are in the shoulder and elbow. Rotator cuff tendinitis and shoulder instability. Little League Elbow or chronic strain of the ligaments or muscles on the inside part of the elbow are also common overuse problems. Treatment of these problems centers on periods of rest from the sport, strengthening, stretching, and working on throwing mechanics. Overall fitness, leg strength, hamstring flexibility, and core strength all contribute to the proper throwing as well as injury prevention.
