Comparing elbow injury risks in collegiate softball and baseball athletes: previous involvement in softball versus baseball
Yuka Tsukahara, Erika Jyoto, Rie SatoPublished in Research in Sports Medicine (2025)“…Athletes engaged in competitive baseball before college had a significantly elevated likelihood of experiencing elbow injuries and discomfort compared to those who engaged in non-overhead throwing sports (Odds ratio = 3.84, 95% CI 1.16-12.72, p = 0.028) but engaging in softball prior to college was not a significant risk factor for sustaining elbow injuries.
