"The most prevalent reasons for arm pain and tiredness can be boiled down to five major issues," Guettler adds. "The following behaviors can lead to arm pain and tiredness which can then lead to the most significant shoulder and elbow injuries."

Pitching for more than one team during the same season
Pitching more than one game during the same day
Pitching on back-to-back days
Pitching in a league without pitch counts or playing year-round
Throwing curve balls before high school

"Dr. Guettler says that the first step to bringing down the number of pitching injuries can be remembered with a simple, newly coined "Rule of Ones."

It means one game a day, one day of pitching then rest, one position at a time during a pitched game, one team at a time, only one pitch before high school, and at least one season of some other organized sport. And parents, if your young pitcher mentions that his arm is 'sore' or 'tired' - let him take some time off. One complaint of arm soreness or tiredness equals one week off."
