Over the past 10 seasons, the Milwaukee Brewers have logged the
second-fewest days on the disabled list of the 30 major-league clubs.
.
Pure chance or good fortune? Hardly.
.
"We feel like we're on the forefront of medicine in baseball," said
Brewers medical director Roger Caplinger.
.
With that in mind, the Brewers held their ninth annual medical symposium
at Miller Park over the weekend, a three-day affair involving 45 men and
women, including trainers, physicians and strength and conditioning
coaches from throughout the organization, other medical experts, front
office and minor-league staff as well as others who specialize in
collecting and analyzing data.
.
How serious are the Brewers about this topic? This year, those making
presentations included Sports Illustrated injury expert Will Carroll,
astrophysicist Meredith Wills and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
associate professor Kyle Ebersole, whose area of expertise is biomechanics
and exercise physiology.
.
Carroll, who has no affiliation with the Brewers, said there was a reason
he had not attended medical symposiums of other clubs.
.
"This is the only one that exists," said Carroll, who has dedicated his
career to sports-related health topics. "No other teams do this. No one
even has a one-day symposium. When Roger came to me eight or nine years
ago and said, 'What do we need to do?' I said, 'Get everybody on the same
page.' "
.
That remains the primary goal of the Brewers' annual symposium - to share
information and data, exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge technology
designed to keep players healthy.
.
"It's to make sure what is done in the minor leagues is consistent with
what is done in the major leagues," said assistant general manager Gord
Ash, who teams with Caplinger in overseeing the Brewers' medical program.
"The ability for doctors to meet in this fashion and talk about common
issues, building that fraternity, has worked out very well.
.
"The other part of this that's important is all of the brain storming that
comes up. 'Here's what we're doing. Is there a better way to do it?'
Whether it's the trainer or the strength coach or the doctor from Appleton
saying, 'There is a better way to do this. Let's look at this.' "
.
Much of the time spent at the symposium is dedicated to pitching, the area
of the game in which the majority of injuries occur.
