A baseball pitcher puts incredible stress on his pitching arm. With focused efforts to correct mechanical flaws, stress on the pitching arm can be relieved. 

Shoulder Pain:
Does your son have shoulder pain associated with pitching?  Pain in the front of the shoulder is the most common stress point and develops when the arm  drags behind the shoulder line.  Pain in the back of the shoulder develops when the arm flies out--away from the body--causing the arm to fly across the body while finishing towards the plate.  With this movement, its nearly impossible to have a consistant release point.

 

Elbow Pain:
The most common elbow pain occurs at the top of the elbow where the biceps tendon attaches to the ulna.  To relieve this forearm fly out, a pitcher can gain strength by allowing the arm to move to a power position.
