Growth Plate Fractures: The Injury You Can’t Ignore
Young baseball and softball athletes are still growing, which means their growth plates are often weaker than the surrounding ligaments and tendons. Repetitive throwing, pitching, catching, or overuse can lead to growth plate injuries that may impact development if not addressed.
🚨 Warning signs:
• Persistent arm, shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain
• Decreased velocity or performance
• Pain during or after throwing
• Swelling or tenderness around a joint
The good news? Most growth plate injuries are preventable with proper workload management, rest, recovery, and age-appropriate training.
Parents and athletes: pain is information, not something to “push through.”
Train smart. Recover smarter. Protect the future of your game.

When we take breaks, the athletes with big goals and dreams or even the athletes that just want to be the best version of themselves can’t afford to completely stop working. Progress slows when nothing is being done.
So what should breaks actually look like?
• Weight room work• Mobility & recovery• Getting your body in the best playing shape possible• Adjusting and tweaking swings• Learning the educational side of the game• Pitching/throwing mechanics• Defensive skill work
The “breaks” where you go months without touching the sport you say you love usually lead to starting all over again. It becomes a frustrating cycle of trying to catch back up.
Your break can still be just 1 hour a day focused on getting better. That still leaves time for family, friends, and entertainment.
But the moment we become lazy and too comfortable is the moment someone else passes us up — because while you stopped, they kept working.
