abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the effect of wrist fractures on performance metrics in Major League Baseball Players after they were hit by an errant pitch.   Methods: Players who sustained wrist fractures after being struck by a pitch were identified and changes in performance metrics were calculated.   Results: In both the short- and medium-term analysis, there were no significant differences in all pre- and post-injury offensive statistics following return to play.   Conclusion: Wrist fractures sustained after being struck by an errant pitch do not significantly impact professional baseball player performance if the player is able to return to sport.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
