Answer:

Medial epicondyle

Step-by-step explanation:

Little league elbow is an overuse injury caused by stress to the inside of the elbow.

Medial epicondyle is found in the distal end of the humerus bone.

It gives attachment to the ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint, to the pronator teres, and to a common tendon of origin of some of the flexor muscles of the forearm.

Hitting the medial epicondyle causes a tingling sensation in the ulnar nerve.
