How Baseball Players Can Protect Their Shoulders and Elbows

Throwing places repeated demands on the shoulder, elbow, trunk, and legs. Smart preparation and workload management can help players stay ready.

Key points

• Build the whole kinetic chain.

• Progress throwing workload gradually.

• Use a complete warm-up.

• Pay attention to soreness, loss of velocity, or reduced range.

• Prioritize sleep, nutrition, and recovery days.
