My 16 year old son has been battling elbow pain since September. The orthopedic said it was tendonitis and then an MRI showed a mild bone bruise. He has been through PT for 4 months. He started throwing again 2 weeks ago without pain but when he pitched this past week he had pain again in his elbow. The orthopedic states that he needs to learn to pitch without hyper extending his elbow because that is what is causing the pain. He sees a very good pitching coach that does not see any issue with his mechanics. Any suggestions on how to stop hyper extending his elbow when he releases the ball? Thanks!
