Now on Axcess: Few motions in sports push the human body like throwing a baseball. Each pitch tears muscle fibers, stretches ligaments to the brink, and twists the arm into unnatural shapes. 

For many, this violent motion is the gateway to a dream. Whether it’s a college scholarship, a professional contract, or the chance to call yourself a Major Leaguer, players, especially pitchers, push their bodies to the limit. A few miles per hour on a fastball or higher spin rate on a slider can be the difference between making it to the next level or not.

In today’s analytical revolution, pitchers have data at their fingertips, making this generation the most advanced yet. However, it’s also led many to chase metrics that college coaches and scouts crave. Combined with an increase in players throwing year-round, pitchers are putting more stress than ever before on their arms.
