Youth baseball pitching injuries have reached epidemic levels as parents and coaches are being misled by velocity-focused training programs utilizing weighted balls and dangerous techniques.
• 50% of Tommy John surgeries now occur in youth players
• Weighted ball programs target children as young as 11 years old
• Independent studies show 25% injury rates with these training methods
• Hall of Fame pitchers like Nolan Ryan and Pedro Martinez threw hard without these injuries
• Current MLB pitchers are experiencing unprecedented injury rates
• Proper mechanics and command are more important than raw velocity
• Many position players now needing Tommy John surgery
• Data-driven approach removes human evaluation from baseball
• College recruiters should look beyond velocity to find complete pitchers
• Proper mechanics and command are more important than raw velocity
If you want to protect your child's arm, avoid weighted ball training completely. Focus on proper mechanics, command, and the mental aspects of pitching that actually translate to success on the mound.
The Velocity Rx podcast mission is to help save one million arms by giving the very best mechanical, health, and arm care information to it's listeners.
