Looks like Baseball is #1 for injuries.

The number of youth pitching injuries continues to increase at alarming rates.
Major League Baseball pitchers lose between 3-4% of rotator cuff strength over the course of a season.
Pitchers lose between 11-18% of arm strength from fatigue.
Pitching for more than 8 months out of the year increases your chance of getting injured by 5x.
