Dr. Christopher Ferguson answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See a doctor: Throwing puts a lot of stress on the shoulder and is one of the most common causes of shoulder injury. This could be a simple tendinitis or something more serious like a labral tear. See an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation if it continues to hurt.
