Abstract
The primary clinical focus of the app is injury prevention, closely followed by enhancing pitching performance via best rehabilitation practices (ie, stretches, warm-up, cool-down, improving core strength). It is an easy-to-use app for all involved in baseball, from players to parents, to coaches, to medical professionals. The app interface is user-friendly and has four main categories: Overview, Pre Season, In Season and About. The videos are instructive and consistent with the type of care a pitcher would receive in a sports medicine clinic and in real-time games as with a physical therapist and/or athletic trainer. While ‘Tommy John’ (ulnar collateral ligament) injuries are unlikely to ever totally be eliminated, the goal is its absolute minimization.
