![]() All those down on one knee drills add to the stress too. I ask them what their effort level is from a 1 to 10 but I'm generally going by my eye. Fact is, it's difficult to judge when a kid is throwing too hard. Both kids do throw hard, so maybe they were overthrowing before their arm was ready.I didn't mean to be accusatory. Jan 1st when we started pitching it was 15 pitches and we add 5 pitches each week. We started practicing Dec 1st, they started pitching Jan 1st. The other pitcher threw about 10 pitches before he had some pain. Tonight, my son started having pain just playing catch. We go through a pretty extensive warm up. ![]() Both kids have mainly been playing 1st base when we are outside, but we have only been outside twice. They may have to not pitch this year in order to stay healthy. I would get them checked out to make sure nothing has separated in the growth plate. It could also be an ill-timed growth spurt. That is why limiting pitches and overuse is the only fix for younger pitchers. The Pronator Teres also attaches to the Medial Epicondyle, so he could be overloading the ME via pronation, not supination. You can see that he's pronating hard through release, and that could actually be (part of) the problem. Any advice?I don't see any real problem in his mechanics. It's the first time either have complained of arm issues. These are our two best pitchers and our hardest throwers if that matters. Both pitchers are complaining of pain in the same spot on the inner elbow. He said it was fine today so he started playing catch and I could see immediately that he was babying the ball and he said it was hurting again. We started to throw a bullpen on Saturday and after a few pitches he said his elbow was a little sore so we shut it down. One of them is my son (just about to turn 11). We had two of our players complain of elbow pain tonight after just a few pitches.
