Proper technique execution of those throwing may help pitchers to develop and increase control over ball flight-pattern, speed and accuracy. Several previous studies have argued if teaching curveball to young pitchers involves greater injury risk before the age of 13 years old. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics between fastball and curveball of young pitchers to determine whether curveball pitching is more dangerous and has more risk of injuries than fastball. Methods: A thorough literature review was conducted using PubMed, SAGE, and Elsevier. The articles were searched from March 25...
