Predicting Injury Susceptibility in Pitching Motions

To see whether you're injury prone or injury resistant take a critical look at whether you keep your Shoulder square and horizontal throughout your motion.  Next, watch your Head movement.  When your Head fails to move down before your Head moves forward, you're likely to tilt your Shoulders and be extremely injury prone.

When we talk about your Head moving down, we're talking about your Back Leg gradually and continually loading throughout your motion.  As long as you synchronize your Arms and Legs with your Back Leg load, you're allowing your Shoulders to remain horizontal.  Warning:  As soon as you allow your Back Leg to collapse, your Shoulders move to less than horizontal and you create an injury prone motion.

Level Shoulders produce a natural release point.  All the energy you store in your Back Leg moves into your Throwing Hand and you display flawless ball control.

As soon as your Shoulders tilt, you'll still throw from a natural release point, but, in this instance, your natural release point produces less-than-desirable ball control.  Now, in order to get the baseball to you target, your forced to change your Throwing Forearm angle to get the baseball to your target.  Essentially, you rely on Eye/Hand coordination to find your target.  Most of the time, with an injury prone motion, you've successfully pointed your future toward a relief role. 

Every Motion Produces the Same Force

Whether this force goes into your Throwing Hand or your Throwing Elbow/Shoulder depends upon your Shoulder orientation.

In an injury resistant motion, a motion where your Shoulders stay horizontal and your Head moves down prior to moving forward, all the force moves into your Throwing Hand.

With Eye/Hand coordination, the force intended for your Throwing Hand melts away into your Throwing Elbow/Shoulder.  Allow even a small portion of your energy to move into your Throwing Arm long enough and you become extremely injury prone.

Your Lower Body Drives Your Shoulder

When you keep your Shoulders horizontal, you typically land your Foot Strike milli-seconds before your horizontal Shoulder rotate around your Head.  Your Lower Body rotation drives your Throwing Hand through a natural release.  With horizontal Shoulders, your Throwing Hand releases each pitch just above your Throwing Elbow.

With titled Shoulders, your Hips rotate long before (as compared to horizontal Shoulders) your Shoulders rotate.  The force generated by your Lower Body still creates a natural release point, but, as stated earlier, you're forced to change your Throwing Hand release to outside your Throwing Elbow.

"It's the mechanics of the way you throw. It is an unnatural motion that wears on the ligaments that causes small tears and fraying.  Repeated small tears add up to one big tear."
Dr. John Bergfeld, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Sports Health
