When I used to pitch in college, I swore by Icy Hot when I pitched. Between innings I would get the Icy Hot roll-on and rub it all over my elbow. As soon as I pulled my sleeve back over it, that sucker would be on fire and the pain was gone. **I know I had something going on with my elbow, but I was a gamer and pitched through it. I was not going to be drafted, so I toughed it out so I could play while in college.
