Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Baseball Analytics
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Professional baseball involves significant physical demands.
    • Understanding player medical issues is crucial for performance and health.
    • Previous analyses of baseball injuries have been limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the types, frequency, and treatment of medical problems in a professional baseball team over two seasons.
    • To identify player positions and seasonal trends associated with injuries and illnesses.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of on-site medical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Two-season retrospective analysis of medical records from a class A professional baseball team.
    • Categorization of medical problems into injuries and illnesses.
    • Documentation of affected player positions, injury types, and treatment providers.

    Main Results:

    • An average of 1-2 medical problems occurred per game.
    • Injuries were less frequent, while illnesses were more common at the beginning and end of the season.
    • Pitchers, catchers, second basemen, and right fielders sustained the most injuries.
    • Musculoskeletal issues comprised 86.4% of all injuries.
    • Most injuries (82.2%) were treated by the team trainer, 13.1% by the team physician, and 4.7% by specialists.

    Conclusions:

    • The team trainer and primary care physician adequately managed the majority of medical problems.
    • Seasonal trends in illness and injury patterns were observed.
    • Specific player positions are at higher risk for injury in professional baseball.
