Because of the great numbers of boys playing in Little League, we receive thousands of reports of injuries through our Insurance Division. In examining these reports from the doctors, we find that the injury to the elbow from pitching is infrequent. We have found that this specific injury increases with age and it occurs more in our 13-15-year-old groups and 16-18-year-old group than in the 8-12-year-old group. This seems logical in that the older boys become the greater their strength, the harder they throw and, consequently, the greater the stress placed upon the medial epicondyle.
