Data That
Tells a Story🥎 Softball / Baseball

Girls (Softball):
Overuse injuries in the shoulder and elbow are common, especially among pitchers. Finger injuries also occur frequently from catching and batting.

Boys (Baseball):
Boys experience higher rates of elbow injuries (including growth plate stress) and muscle strains due to higher throwing velocity.

Biology Insight:
Repetitive stress without adequate recovery leads to micro-damage in tendons and growth plates.
