This episode we interviewed an expert from an MLB- level pitching staff on questions about arm care.
- Thoughts on:
- Ice
- Running after throwing
- Bands vs weights
- Long toss
- Weighted balls
- Any advice for young catchers who also pitch?
- Would you recommend against pitchers playing year round? And if so, how long of a rest period?
- Do you notice any particular qualities that differentiate pitchers you have worked with who seem more resilient from those who are more susceptible to injury?
- Would you recommend a certain age to start throwing breaking balls, and would it matter how often they throw those pitches?
- Pitch count guidelines, how important are they?
- It is more beneficial for young pitchers to play multiple sports?
