More than half of all starting pitchers in the major leagues will end up on the disabled list, and teams at every level are losing on the field because their pitchers are unable to perform. These are problems Carroll is familiar with as the author of a daily column for the Baseball Prospectus Web site that focuses on player injuries. His guide for pitchers, Little League parents, and baseball fans analyzes how pitching injuries happen and how to prevent them. The work is based in part on the research of Tom House, the pitching coach for Nolan Ryan and Mark Prior, and the work of orthopedic surgeon James Andrews and his American Sports Medicine Institute.
