Pitcher Injuries in Baseball: Key Findings from the 2024 MLB Report

To reduce the risk of injury for pitchers at all levels, it is crucial to take these key findings seriously. Increased velocity, early-season workload, and maximum effort throwing all contribute to arm injuries, and understanding these risks can help players, coaches, and parents make informed decisions. As the youth and high school baseball seasons begin, prioritizing gradual throwing progression, monitoring pitch counts, and limiting high-intensity throwing will be essential in protecting young arms. By implementing these strategies, we can help ensure that pitchers stay healthy and perform at their best throughout the season.
