Son had sugery on non-dominant shoulder labrum. Unlike pitchers, the pain comes with a hard swing while batting.
During the world series, the announcers said that BJ Upton adjusted his swing to compensate for a torn labrum, adopting a narrower stance and shorter swing. I have also heard of other players changing their swing for shoulder problems (e.g., Scott Rolen). Son does have a wide batting stance. I am wondering if this could cause a recurrence or whether a change in swing could prevent re-injury. Is there a type of professional that reviews batting video and recommends adjustments for medical reasons? Any recommendations?
