Life is full of little aches and pains, such as in your hand, wrist, and elbow. But how do you know when the situation is serious enough to seek medical attention?
Major League Baseball in partnership with USA Baseball have created a new web site called Pitch Smart to help educate youth baseball players, parents, and coaches about how to play the game safely.
ASMI Medical Director Dr. James Andrews and Research Director Glenn Fleisig, Ph.D. serve on the Advisory Committee that helped create the web site as well as the pitching guidelines offered to help protect young players’ arms.
