i Mark Fogle. As you know the game of baseball needs lots of strains in the upper part of the body. First of all i would see the whether the strength in both upper limbs is same or not. If unequal i would advice to go for a MRI of the cervical ( neck) spine to see any compression causing your numbness and weakness. The first part of the treatment is stop playing baseball or any other game till the diagnosis is established. If MRI is within normal range or shows just a small compression, Physiotherapist can help you a lot.
