Possibly Tendenitis? IMO, that is very likely given the amount of repetitious movements she makes...

I don't know anything tendinitis so I am just asking a question. Why would hitting be worse than pitching? It appears she is allowed to pitch but not allowed to hit.

Probably due to the impact of the ball hitting the bat.  Just a guess though...Maybe it is simply due to the fact that the team needs her pitching more than her hitting?  Again, not sure...

If it is tendinitus, about the only surefire cure is rest.  She probably needs to be shut down completely for a month or two, but we desperately need her as a pitcher to have a successful team.

The reason I was asking Jamos about velocity/movement...I'd imagine tendinitus might not affect her top-end velocity a great deal, but it would affect her movement (don't think she'd be able to get a good snap and tight rotation on a breaking ball).  Not only movement, it could affect her gripping, and thus her changeup and ability to keep batters off balance.

I have stated that I thought her stamina is not where it used to be but if she has pain intrying to pitch, this might explain her not being able last as long. She had a very good 4 innings yesterday and that might be an indication of her tolerance of pain. She hasn't been able to challenge the better hitters because they are taking her deep, but she did yesterday. I'm thinking she may have some inflamed muscles in her forearm which would restrict her ability to spin the ball and spinning the ball is a must. The funny thing about all of this is you never see flexing her hand or arm in any way that she may have some discomfort.
