    Why Baseball Injuries Spike in April — Tommy John, Little League Elbow & How to Protect Young Arms

    Most baseball injuries don't happen mid-season — they happen at the very beginning and very end. In this episode, Dr. Greg breaks down exactly why April is one of the highest-risk months for youth baseball players, and what parents and athletes can do about it before it becomes a serious problem. We cover the three most common arm injuries in baseball — Tommy John (UCL tears), Little League elbow, and Little League shoulder — including what they actually are, why they happen, and why young athletes are especially vulnerable during growth spurts. Dr. Greg also debunks a common myth: Tommy John surgery does not make you throw harder. The rehab does — and the same work that prevents injury is the same work that builds velocity. Whether your kid is eight or eighteen, you'll learn: Why tendons and growth plates lag behind muscles during early-season ramp-upThe warning signs that show up before pain (hint: watch for arm fatigue and velocity drops)Why year-round baseball in states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas puts young pitchers at serious riskWhy six to eight weeks off from throwing per year isn't optional — it's essentialHow prehab (not surgery) is the real solutionIf your athlete has arm pain, a heavy arm, or you're not sure if their workload is safe, this episode is for you. The Movement Driven Podcast is dedicated to helping athletes and families make smarter decisions about training, injury prevention, and long-term performance.
