CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – Pinch Hit Friday #64: Dr. Peter Kriz on How Can We Do Better Than Pitch Counts for Preventing Injuries

About the Author: Eric Cressey

This week’s Pinch Hit Friday is now available. In this episode, I interview Dr. Peter Kriz about the results of a recent study he co-authored: “Do Pitching Restriction Policies Reduce Shoulder and Elbow Injuries in High School Baseball Players?” This discussion examines the history of pitcher usage recommendations over the past decade, and outlines where and how pitch count and frequency guidelines can be used to keep athletes safe.
