Hosted by PSR Publisher Ellis Cannon, this episode of “Get In The Game” features Allegheny General Hospital sports medicine physician Dr. Scott Schweitzer discussing overuse injuries in young athletes, specifically within the sport of baseball.


Dr. Schweitzer explains the dangers of young ball players throwing breaking balls or simply throwing too many pitches for their young arms. Dr. Schweitzer offers some solutions for this common problem.
