MLB Study Reveals Links Between Pitching Injuries and Velocity
A recent MLB study has highlighted a concerning trend in pitcher injuries, linking them to increased throwing velocity and maximum effort. The findings indicate that youth pitchers are throwing harder and more often than ever before, potentially leading to greater risks of arm injuries. An internal MLB report suggests implementing new pitching rules to address these injury issues and enhance the entertainment value of the game. Despite identifying the root causes of these injuries, the study emphasizes that finding effective solutions may prove challenging. As the league evaluates these insights, the focus remains on the safety and longevity of pitchers in the sport.
