Pitching in Baseball
Pitching is a very powerful motion that can cause many injuries. I currently still suffer from a elbow injury i induced while pitching in high school, it is a good thing i was also a first baseman. Shoulders and elbows contribute so much to pitching based on the spin of the ball and the release point. It also withstands the whipping force you are exherting when throwing the baseball. But can other injuries affect pitching? YES, a persons core and legs are also very important to pitching. They are the reason most pitchers can get high velocity on the ball. It takes a quick snap turn of the torso, and a push off with the legs. If a pitcher is hurt in any area, his entire pitching fundamentals could end up useless.
