Just wanted to drop a short post in about loading rate as it relates to the humerus and possibly the connective tissue in the pitching arm during the throwing motion.
In Humeral Torque in Professional Baseball Pitchers, Sabick et al. concluded that &#8220;pitchers who elbows were more extended at stride foot contact tended to have lower peak [...]]]></description>

(Alternate title: Why running long distances is a bad idea for baseball pitchers.)
As high school tryouts commence and spring training games begin, pitchers all over the nation are running poles after they throw their long toss or their bullpens. Coaches are making their kids run 30 minutes at the end of tryouts just to gauge [...]]]></description>

In an excellent (and controversial) post about Crossfit for baseball athletes, Eric Cressey talked about why Crossfit&#8217;s Workout of the Day is a poor way to train for baseball for many reasons. One such reason was:
3) I have huge concerns about poor exercise technique in conditions of fatigue in anyone, but these situations concern me [...]]]></description>

Another great video by Eric Cressey about pressing for overhead throwing athletes &#8211; this time, he focuses on overhead pressing. Short and to the point &#8211; definitely check it out.

I&#8217;ve wanted a weight sled for some time now, but couldn&#8217;t pull the trigger on the expensive ones available on the Internet. The shipping cost is just way too prohibitive. I&#8217;ve also wanted some plate holders that snap directly into my power cage, but NY Barbell was sold out of them and would be for [...]]]></description>

Another excellent article by Eric Cressey is available here: Should Pitchers Bench Press?
Most of my clients are interested in throwing hard, hitting a ball farther, and developing as a baseball player. However, most of my clients are also high school or college players who have egos and dreams of being able to bench a 225 [...]]]></description>

Our baseball athletes undergo a rigorous offseason workout schedule that incorporates a ton of heavy weight lifting &#8211; mostly done with barbells, but we use dumbbells for single-arm exercises (rows) and pressing (bench press with the neutral grip and the occasional push press) as well. Most of the athletes that I get come into the [...]]]></description>

Over the past four years I&#8217;ve probably spent hundreds of hours reading research papers (full ones, not just abstracts), medical journals, and derivative materials to gain a better understanding of biomechanics, applied anatomy, and kinesiology as it relates to baseball and exercise science in general.
I&#8217;m currently doing a lot of research on how to convert [...]]]></description>

Resistance band work (also known as &#8220;tubing&#8221;) seemingly makes up the core component of any pitcher&#8217;s exercise routine &#8211; from the high school athlete right up to the professional big league hurler. Programs like ASMI&#8217;s Thrower&#8217;s Ten get tons of praise for preventing and rehabbing throwing-related injuries to the shoulder and elbow. It&#8217;s often called [...]]]></description>
