An Official Response: MLB Report On Pitching Injuries 2024
Warning: this Response Report might cause you to see the game differently.
We want to take a second and say we appreciate the data and the report itself. It is a massive discussion started in the game. This is not an anti MLB message. We are extremely grateful for the MLB putting this information out and sharing it to begin the conversation. We have been in touch with the MLB and appreciate their support of our mission! They agree, as we all do, the game needs change. The question is where do we begin to change it?
Back in early 2024 I was interviewed as one of the 200 asked to weigh in on injuries in baseball. In December the report was fully published and I was disappointed with the conclusions that velocity and pitch design we causing massive injury spikes in the game.
Instead of simply trying to tweet about the differences in opinion, I felt it necessary to elaborate on the fullness of why we feel data from the report represents a much different conclusion. So here it is, no barriers to entry, just free and ready to download.
We just ask 1 thing… If you believe in it please share it with a friend.
This message needs to been seen, understood and heard. Our hope is this “Response Report” can be the first step to a brighter future in the game we all love.
About the author:
My name is Casey Mulholland (Founder and Lead Developer at KP). Back in 2010 I was one of the top high school pitchers in my class. About 60 days before the draft and potentially becoming a 1st round draft pick I had Tommy John Surgery. Since then I have been on a mission to figure out why pitching injuries occur.
First I sought answers for my own career and then these questions lead me to starting KineticPro (“KP”) in Tampa FL in hopes to help others. We have worked with some of the games best arms and introduced the concepts of workload management to athletes all around the world. Our mission is, and will continue to be, to build a healthier game for the next generation. We know there are many stories like mine of dreams never realized due to injury in baseball. Our hope is that you will join us in sharing the message and bringing forth the needed change within our game. Let’s #ClimbTheMountain.
