Baseball may look effortless from the stands, but every swing, throw, and sprint demands precision, strength, and endurance. Behind top performance is one essential factor: physical care.
Stronger Performance
Core stability, arm strength, and flexibility mean harder hits and sharper plays.
Injury Prevention
Reduce risks of shoulder, elbow, and lower-body injuries that plague baseball.
Faster Recovery
Get back on the field sooner after games, series, or long practices.
Extended Career
The better you care for your body now, the more seasons you can compete.
The Cost of Neglect
In MLB, pitchers alone account for **over 55% of reported injuries**. Shoulder injuries are especially risky—only **53% of pitchers** with preseason shoulder issues return that season, and many re-injure.
Players with injury histories see contract values drop by **12–25%**. You’re not just losing games—you’re losing leverage.
Position-Specific Findings
| Position / Group | Key Stat | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Pitchers | After UCL surgery, only ~57% return to MLB level. | About half never return; those who do often throw fewer innings. |
| Position Players | Shoulder/hip surgeries → 80–95% RTP. | Better return rates, but rarely at peak performance. |
| Hip / Trunk Injuries | RTP: 81–95%, but many careers shorten by 2–4 years. | Contracts often weigh shorter projection. |
| Converted Pitchers | ~54% injury rate vs ~78% for career pitchers. | Shows consistent throwing workload heightens risk. |
| Catchers (UCL Surgery) | ~85% RTP, but post-op careers are shorter. | Riskier long-term deals, especially with age. |
Stay strong. Stay healthy. Stay in the game.
Baseball is more than skill—it’s preparation, resilience, and health. When you make physical care part of your game plan, you protect every inning, every season, and your potential.
