Wow..As my DD is just returning to softball after rehab for 10 mos because of shoulder injury. "Loose shoulder" Overuse. 200 pitches in a day is not good and for 300-400 you are ruining your DD. The Ortho Doctor just told my DD when he first seen her that her odds of beating this injury was 1 out of 4 because young athletes can not shut down their activities and be patient. DD has started pitching program that starts out with 15 pitches at 50% then rest a day and it moves up to phase 2 by allowing 30 pitches at 50% and so on... just saying very long road and not to mention almost cost her the game she dearly loves...get educated on this overuse issue you will be very surprised!!!!!
A good informative post from a parent.
