Muscle imbalances

For every one joint in the body, the muscles need to be EQUALLY as strong around it. Look at your shoulders, if they are "rounded" forward...that is an imbalance! Your chest muscles are stronger than your back muscles. So, what's the problem with that, you may ask? There's a decrease in blood and O2 flow to those muscles in the back, making it VERY easy to tear. What is the most common injury in baseball? Rotator cuff tear! Simple fix....work your back muscles: Lats, Rear Delts, Traps, Rhumboids. Easy!
