VeloRESET has released a new educational guide on Little League elbow, covering symptoms, causes, and phased recovery timelines to help parents support youth pitchers dealing with growth plate elbow pain.
-- Youth pitching resource VeloRESET has released a new educational guide on Little League elbow, a growth plate injury commonly seen in pitchers between the ages of eight and fourteen. Written for parents rather than clinicians, the guide explains what the injury looks like in practice, how it differs from more serious elbow conditions, and what typically causes it to develop over the course of a season.

The guide draws on questions VeloRESET has fielded from parents who noticed elbow tenderness in their pitcher but were unsure whether it warranted rest or a medical evaluation. Each section explains what tenderness on the inner elbow can indicate, how the injury is typically diagnosed, and why catching it early matters more than the severity of symptoms at that stage.
A ten-year study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, conducted from 1999 to 2008, tracked baseball pitchers between nine and fourteen years of age. The research found that youth pitchers who throw more than 100 innings per year are 3.5 times more likely to sustain a serious elbow or shoulder injury requiring surgery or ending their career.
That volume-based risk is central to what the guide addresses, helping parents recognize warning signs before the condition escalates. Rather than focusing on pitch counts alone, the resource walks through how growth plate stress accumulates across games, practices, and bullpen sessions, and outlines a phased return-to-throwing timeline for pitchers recovering from elbow pain.
"Too many parents are told to watch for pain, but by the time pain shows up, the injury has already been building for weeks," Joey Myers, founder of VeloRESET, said. "This guide gives parents a clearer picture of what to look for early, so decisions about rest and recovery can be made before the situation becomes more serious."
VeloRESET was founded by Joey Myers, a certified corrective exercise specialist with more than fifteen years of experience working with youth athletes. The guide is part of VeloRESET's broader library of resources designed to help families understand arm injuries, recovery timelines, and safe return-to-throwing progressions for pitchers.
"Parents don't need a medical degree to notice when something is off with their pitcher's arm," Myers added. "They just need to know what early signs actually look like, and that is exactly the gap this guide is meant to close for families dealing with Little League elbow this season."
