The pitching motion causes a valgus stress to be placed on the<unk>  joint which can cause damage to the structures of the<unk> , resulting in an avulsion of the medial epiphyseal plate (growth plate). The first diagnosis of the injury in 1960 set off a firestorm of controversy regarding how much youth baseball players can and should be asked to pitch. The ailment even appeared in the comic strip Peanuts in 1963 when Charlie Brown received a diagnosis. In 2007, in order to protect against overuse injuries,<unk><unk>  Baseball began limiting the number of pitches a player could throw per day. Adult pitchers do not experience the same injury because they do not have an open growth plate in the<unk> .
