Where is the future of Major League Baseball (MLB) headed? In 2024, a staggering 74% of all injury-related days missed were by pitchers, with arm injuries alone accounting for 58%. The financial toll reflects this as well, with MLB teams spending $686 million on injured pitchers this year—$561 million solely due to arm injuries. This rise in pitcher injuries has been building steadily for over a decade. Since 2015, MLB teams have spent $7.5 billion on player injuries, with $3.1 billion on arm injuries alone, which represent over half of all injuries. Pitchers account for 67% of the total days missed. The pandemic undoubtedly disrupted the player development cycle, but since 2021, days missed due to arm injuries have surged from 46% to 58%, and the share of cash lost due to pitchers has risen from 54% to 69%. We’re seeing the impact in the postseason: a shift in availability and depth of quality starting pitchers and a growing reliance on a revolving bullpen. It’s like watching a high-stakes showcase event where endurance and consistency fall behind. MLB knows there’s a problem; I’ve spoken with them on multiple occasions and proposed pilot programs to reduce injury rates. But changing course isn’t easy when the very dynamics that fuel this surge in arm injuries are embedded at every level of baseball. So what’s the solution? Change the rules? Change the game itself? That might be MLB’s simplest path forward. We’re currently on track for pitchers to account for 80% of all missed days in the league, with over 60% due to arm injuries. It’s absurd. Teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have shown they can handle massive payrolls and stockpile injuries and still make it to the World Series, thanks to depth and top-tier talent. But this dynamic creates a widening gap when big-market teams can afford to overcome injuries, while most small-market teams struggle to develop talent and remain competitive. Ultimately, we want the best players to stay on the field, grow the game, and deliver the best product for fans. #injuries #pitchers #SaveTheGame #playoffs

Try this spin move 👀👇 The hop in the spin move allows your defender to continue as you start to stop, creating separation in this move. Drill it out, try it in a small sided game (like 21 or 1v1, etc.) and then try going live with it. #HoopStudy #basketballtraining #ballislife

Sports event organizers often face challenges from coaches, which can impact the planning and execution of events. 1. **Non-compliance with Rules**: Coaches may sometimes not adhere to the specific regulations and rules of the event, whether it's about player eligibility, game rules, or equipment standards. This can create disputes or delays. 2. **Scheduling Conflicts**: Coaches often have specific preferences or requirements for game schedules to accommodate training routines or travel plans, which can conflict with the event's logistics and other teams' schedules. 3. **Communication Issues**: Miscommunications between coaches and organizers about event details, updates, or changes can lead to misunderstandings and logistical nightmares. 4. **Behavioral Issues**: Coaches can be very passionate and sometimes this passion spills over into aggressive or inappropriate behavior, whether towards referees, opponents, or even their own players, potentially disrupting the event. 5. **Safety Concerns**: Coaches may push back on decisions related to player health and safety if they believe it could negatively affect their team's competitive advantage. 6. **Resource Demands**: Coaches might request additional resources, such as specific facilities, equipment, or scheduling accommodations, which can be difficult for organizers to fulfill while managing equity among all participants. 7. **Interference in Event Operations**: Some coaches may try to influence or interfere with event operations beyond their remit, such as the layout of the competition area or the scheduling of officials.

The Latest Research on Non-Dominant Golf Swing Training The role of non-dominant swings as a part of golf training programs has attracted much debate and argument. Golf is a highly unilateral sport, where the player is trying to achieve maximal movement power and efficiency in a single side rotation. As such, individuals argue that there is no need for opposite side golf swings (right handed golfer swinging left handed), if the sport movement is centered around single side rotation. In contrast, those who support the role of opposite side training suggest that benefits from this type of training is worth the time invested for golfers of various skill levels.
