Throwing Shoulder

Rotator cuff tear 
http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00064
Shoulder labrum tear
http://orthopedics.about.com/od/shoulderelbow/a/labrum.htm
SLAP tear
http://www.orthoinfo.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00627

Those injuries are common with throwing athletes.

You should see an orthopedist (bone joint medical doctor). He/she should do physical tests and imaging tests.  This will determine what condition you have. Ultrasound can detect issues with your rotator cuffs, biceps tendons, etc. (mainly structures not blocked by bone). But if you need to see deeper into the shoulder such as the labrum, you need MR arthrogram. 

Consider prolotherapy. Some orthopedists do prolotherapy. See an orthopedist who does Dextrose (or other proliferant), Platelet Rich Plasma, and Stem Cell Therapy (aka prolotherapy)–a low intrusive, nonsurgical procedure involving injections of the proliferant dextrose etc., your platelets, and your stem cells. It will regenerate and heal the injury effectively and quickly. 

It’s best if the doctor uses ultrasound to guide the proper placement of the injections. Be sure the doctor administers multiple injections in the whole joint, not just one injection in a single location. The treatment should be thorough and comprehensive.

What You See Is What you Hit

How Do I Work On My Batting Eye In Baseball?
When I was pitched to by a pitching machine I did fine until my dad started to change the settings on every pitch on there. How do I work on my eye so that I can hit better. When I do hit it I do well, I just want to work on having a better batting eye. Any help is appreciated, 
Alex asked
my response: 

Hit against a live arm using Dr. Bill Harrison's 'Fine Centering/Soft Centering' technique. This information can be found in detail in this blog site.

New York Yankees' RHP Chase Whitley OIP Pitching Mechanics Evaluation

From 2011...will re-evaluate after his start on Thursday for the Yankees.

Leg Extension: -10

Hip Rotation: -18 ...steps open

Follow Through: -13 ...fall away with poor leverage (very little depth/back bend)

Other: -10 (wear and tear, throws across body)

OIP (Overall Injury Probability): 51%

Conclusion: Unless he's improved his mechanics, he's throwing mostly arm and little with body. He'll be unable to have endurance and can't be counted on as an inning eater in the Yankees' rotation. I'm assuming he's a stop gap measure with best arm available for a start.

How old is too old to get drafted to a minor league baseball team?

Gary Bell asks

my response:

23 is too old unless the prospect possessed phenom talent.
