KIMEcast Ep 52: Baseball Arm Injuries: What Really Matters

Описание: Hosts: Dr. Tony Mikla, Dr. Evan Hauger
Special Guest: Dr. Sean Robinson, Orthopedic Surgeon & Oakland A’s Team Physician

In this special baseball-focused episode, we pull back the curtain on elbow injuries in throwers—from youth players to Major League pitchers. Dr. Sean Robinson joins Dr. Tony Mikla and Dr. Evan Hauger to discuss how throwing mechanics, kinetic chain dysfunction, and training overload—not the elbow itself—are usually to blame for pain and injury.

You’ll learn:

Why youth throwers rarely need surgery

How mechanics and strength gaps lead to elbow problems

The new wave of flexor injuries and how pitch design technology plays a role

The critical role of parents in preventing overuse

When it’s time to escalate care—and why it matters who reads the MRI

Whether you're a parent, coach, or medical provider, this episode offers real talk and actionable insight from top-level experts in sports medicine and performance.
