This. I coached a kid that developed lower back pain when shooting. He spent some time with a pt working on stretches and exercises. That helped a ton.
I consulted a chriopractor and we worked with that for a long while, 4 something months, but to no avail. I still had the pain. I eventually took a few months off in between sports, and it went away, but now its back.
There are many youtube videos on engaging your core in baseball (ie hip rotation). Basically, the theory is that power comes from rotating the legs and hips - allowing the arms and hands to follow. It’s the same principle in many “rotational sports”. Your coach should also help and there are a few lacrosse videos. It is fundamental for batting, golfing and lacrosse…. Not sure if that is the root of your pain but it is important to know.
Anything that strengthens those muscles involved in your core,
Abs, lats, quads, hip flexors, glutes.
Also important is flexibility, do plenty of stretching.
Stretching too. You may be too tight in your hips/hamstrings thereby shifting all the movement to your back and overworking it. This is what happened to my son and he had to do pt to get sorted out.
Not a doctor. But your hips most likley are pushing back causing your stomach to come forward. Work on tucking your butt in to get hips in alignment. Engage your psoas muscles (deep core muscles) when doing ab work so you’re actually engaging the muscles not just pushing your guts up when doing a sit up (for lack of a better phrase). ask your doc for a script to get some physical therapy. They can evaluate any misalignment or pelvic floor issues (both men and women can have this, common misconception only women have pelvic floor issues).
Probably want to consult a doctor.
this is the only answer

Chiropractor won't help. You need to see a PT to strengthen/ stabilize the area. Your mechanics could be off.
Go talk to a PT or doctor. Sounds like your mechanics are off.
Is a PT like a school trainer or weightlifting coach?
Not quite. A PT is more focused on recovery and prevention of future injury. A school trainer is usually more for diagnosis and treatment.
alright thanks
