These article is very very interesting. I am a baseball player and I only use weights sometimes in the on deck circle. It seems to screw me up I feel like.

A few clarifying questions.

1) Since we are in NYC an confined to a gym that only gets 90 feet long (115 if we do diagonal but tough to do with multiple players in the Gym). Do you have any recommendations on what to do about not being able to truly long toss?

2) How many total pitches are you looking at here? In your post it sounds like 5 pitches to the middle, 5? to the glove side then simulate one righty and one lefty batter so possibly another 6-10 pitches? so 16-20 pitches? Or are you saying that inbetween the 10 warmups (5 middle 5 glove) they should focus on whatever they are working on for “X” number of pitches? and then finish with 2 simulated batters?

3) Do you recommend taking any rests during the bullpen, i have typically had kids take rests around every 10-15-20 pitches to simulate an inning. If they are further along in building up their arm strength, would you have them rest and repeat this process, or just continue throwing all pitches in one session? etc.

4) Also, if a kid is working on developing a breaking ball or change up, would you have them throw this pitch repeatedly? If so how many would you allow in a row? I know they need experience and repetition to get better at it, but I wouldn’t want a kid to hurt himself by throwing too many breaking balls in a bullpen?

Thanks

Josh

I see nothing that resembles efficiency and direction. He would never be in a position at landing with the front hip open and back hip closed. If that’s the case, it would be extremely inefficient. Outside of possible stability issues in the hips (hips sliding) I see from the players demo, I think the positioning of his hips is promoting that even more.

Not trying to rain on the parade, just saying I disagree.
