    Episode 131: Dave Yeager & Jeff Weems on Tackling Youth Arm Health with PitchKount
    Jun 25 2026

    Youth arm health has become one of the most pressing concerns in baseball, and this episode dives straight into it. We're joined by Dave Yeager, longtime Athletic Trainer for the Milwaukee Brewers, and Jeff Weems, founder of PitchKount, a platform built to help track pitch counts and reduce overuse injuries in young players.

    Dave and Jeff break down the risks tied to early sports specialization, what the data shows about youth arm injuries, and how PitchKount is attempting to tackle a problem that traditional tracking methods have struggled to solve. Whether you're a parent, coach, or athletic trainer, this conversation offers a clearer picture of how to protect young arms before the damage is done.
