CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – Pinch Hit Friday #49: Does Throwing Weighted Baseballs Increase Pitching Injuries?

About the Author: Eric Cressey

This week’s Pinch Hit Friday is now available. In this episode, I discuss the findings of a recent study that looked at weighted baseball usage and pitching injuries in professional baseball players. This is a hot topic, so it’s important to understand all the factors that influence whether a pitcher gets hurt using weighted balls.
