Youth baseball has morphed into a year-round sport, with some athletes
playing on multiple teams in the same season. One result: an increasing
number of pitchers sidelined with overuse injuries or needing surgery.
.
Guidelines on how many pitches young athletes should throw have been
developed to stem the tide of injuries, but many coaches are not following
the recommendations consistently, according to a study to be presented at
the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference & Exhibition
in San Diego.
.
"Our results show that youth baseball coaches are familiar with pitch
counting but may not be using pitch counts all the time," said Sara
Fraley, a fourth-year medical student at Case Western Reserve University
School of Medicine in Cleveland.

.
However, 44 percent admitted that they do not use pitch counts all of the
time, and less than one in 10 coaches monitors and sets safe limits on how
much athletes are pitching throughout the season or year, as recommended
by the AAP.
.
Additionally, 41 percent of respondents coach athletes who are at an
increased risk for overuse injury because they play on multiple baseball
teams in the same season. More than one-third of coaches had at least one
athlete benched with an overuse injury.
.
Coaches listed several reasons for not following pitch-count
recommendations, including lack of knowledge, not having enough staff to
keep track of pitches and lack of desire to perform the tedious task.
