Lots: There are a number of problems that can cause pain with each throw and each need to be carefully evaluated before throwing any further. The first thing that happens after overthrowing is tightening of the ligaments in the back of your shoulder causing loss of rotation. This loss of motion and rotation creates awful forces in your shoulder with every throw, leading to labral tears.

Scapular dyskinesis: Pain with throwing can be many things and can depend on the phase of throwning when the pain occurs. Late cocking: quadrilateral space syndrome, slap tear, rotator cuff tear, anterior-inferior glenohumeral instability. Acceleration: scapulothoracic bursitis, internal impingement, rotator cuff tear deceleration: subacromial impingement, slap tear, rotator cuff tear. Scapular dyskinesis is common.
