I'd argue overuse is what caused Jordyn Bahl's broken arm.

It was the leap that caused it- hard landing

I just don't see tons of girls "suffering from overuse".
Lol. Spiral fracture. The extreme torque she puts on the arm along with basically pitching two years straight.It was the leap that caused it- hard landing

But you can't compare baseball to softball. The sheet number of players in baseball is so much greater than it is in softball. You'd need to compare percentages, not actual numbers. Also, roster size in baseball is much greater in baseball than it is in softball.And I'm not saying it never happens I just don't think it is as pervasive as it is made out to be- in baseball I see HS kids getting Tommy John surgery! That's a huge difference from tendinitis.
Corrick at USF was overuse IMHO- they road her like a rented mule her senior season and it finally caught up with her.

I haven't read the entire study or checked out the sources it pulls from yet, but I've read enough to know that this study is more about the number of articles published related to baseball pitching injuries compared to the number of articles published about softball pitching injuries. It doesn't really distinguish between a softball player having some tendonitis or minor injury, and a baseball player completely tearing his UCL. Not all injuries are created equal. Just cause you use words like "meta-analysis" in a paper, does not mean your analysis actually holds more merit.So there was a study dome that arm and shoulder injuries occur at the same rate in softball as in baseball. I'm thinking we will see a pitch count or should see a pitch count introduced at the lower levels.
Comment?
