Is your pitcher throwing hard for their age?
Velocity is a strong, well-documented risk factor for arm injury. When a pitcher clears these marks for their age, the arm is carrying load worth watching — even if nothing hurts yet. Our goal is to keep you on the field and make sure you get through the developmental stages healthy so that when you're older, you can have longevity at the highest level.
Throwing hard for your age is itself a flag.
If your pitcher is at or above the mark for their age, a baseline ultrasound and a season of check-ins show how the elbow is handling the workload.

For players who want to keep throwing.
Youth pitchers aged 10–14
The growth plate is the most vulnerable structure in a developing arm. This is the age group where early intervention matters most.
High school and travel ball athletes
Year-round play, particularly pitching creates cumulative load that adds up. Make sure your workload is managed properly.
Anyone who throws hard for their age
High velocity is a significant risk factor for injury. If you're throwing hard relative to your age, monitoring your tissue response could prolong your career.
College and professional arms
When it's your career on the line, the stakes are highest. Arm yourself with objective information and protect the arm you have spent years building.
Catchers & two-way players
Catching, or playing a position and pitching, stacks throws on top of throws. That extra volume is exactly what workload monitoring is for.
