Summary

In-season pitch volume have been shown to relate to arm soreness in collegiate baseball players. Arm soreness is a common ailment following a pitching appearance due to the adaptation to soft tissue in response to a repetitive load to the throwing arm. Specifically, ongoing and accumulated fatigue and soreness to the flexor pronator mass region of the arm may be a predecessor for UCL injury. Different recovery modalities such as a bioactive fabric sleeve may give pitchers a recovery advantage throughout a baseball season. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in subjective soreness of the flexor pronator mass the day following a game pitching appearance using a sleeve with bioactive fabric which potentially improves cellular function versus a control sleeve.
