Major League Baseball released a 62-page, yearlong study on pitching injuries Tuesday, identifying contributing factors to an increase in arm ailments -- including players chasing higher velocity and better "stuff" while exerting maximum effort more often, both in-game and non-game situations.
The study identified problems occurring at both the professional and amateur levels after interviewing over 200 people within the industry, including "former professional pitchers, orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers, club officials, biomechanists, player agents, amateur baseball stakeholders, and other experts in pitcher development."
