Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeinated chewing gum on female softball pitching and hitting performance in trained female softball fielders and pitchers.
Methods: Twenty-four trained female softball players (10 pitchers and 14 fielders) were divided into a caffeine chewing gum trial (CAF) or a placebo trial (PLA) in a single-blind, randomized, crossover experimental design. Two pieces of gum containing 100 mg of caffeine (CAF) or without caffeine (PLA) were chewed for 10 minutes and then spit out, followed by a 15-minute warm-up.
Ulnar collateral ligament repair in professional baseball players.

Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the outcomes of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair in professional baseball players and evaluates their return to pre-injury performance levels after surgery.
- The research analyzed data from 11 pitchers who underwent UCL repair, highlighting that minor league pitchers returned after about 17.5 months, while 80% of major league pitchers returned in about 9.55 months, although some showed decreased overall game participation.
- The findings suggest that UCL repair is a viable option for both pitchers and positional players, allowing them to perform at similar levels post-surgery, thus offering hope for players looking to recover effectively with minimal downtime.
