Injuries due to errors in the biomechanics of pitching are commonly happened. The most frequent injuries reported and identified is in the upper extremities such as shoulder and elbow injuries. Education and protection are two key concepts in baseball injury prevention. The best time to try to prevent pitching injuries is at the beginning of a pitcher's career, when good pitching mechanics and good pitching habits can be developed, that mean pitcher can increase the skill to the next level.
