A systematic search of the literature was conducted on PubMed (Medline) and Ichushi Databese. Studies were limited to prospective cohort study or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of risk factor and/or prevention specific to the elbow injury in baseball players. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria as prospective study and one as RCT. In youth, the risk factors for throwing elbow injury in youth baseball players are : increased age ; increased weight and decreased height; pitcher ; increased practice days and pitch counts; poor posture ; decreased the range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder, elbow, and hip. On the other hand, RCTs of preventive intervention were none. In high school baseball players, decreased the ROM of internal rotation in the dominant shoulder were indicated the risk factors of throwing shoulder and elbow injuries. For a RCT of sleeper stretch, a significant reduction in risk of throwing shoulder and elbow injuries was found in the prevention group. In professional players, the prospective studies and RCTs were limited.
