Hey folks, between the pitching coaches on this board and fathers of pitchers, I hope someone else has experienced this and/or has remedy available.
I have a pitcher, 16 yrs old in the middle of her high school season. (Fun fact: 5 states in the country play their HS seasons in the fall, Nebraska where I currently live is one of them. 1 state, Iowa, plays theirs in the summer!) That has nothing to do with my question but, I like to throw Cliff Clavin like facts at you all now and then. She is experiencing shoulder discomfort and issues in her glove shoulder. The pitching shoulder is fine, the glove shoulder is having some pain. Before anyone asks, I will not post a video of her but she does NOT swim with her glove hand. Her glove hand and arm are in relative control with the pitching motion, no wild movements with it. If she was a "swimmer" then I would be able to tell pretty easy what the problem is. So I've pretty much ruled out the obvious. Maybe someone here has had a pitcher with pain in the opposite shoulder, if so can you tell me the cause and what you did to remedy?
To be clear, the kid tells me she doesn't believe this happened while pitching but, says it hurts when she does pitch.
