Baseball Pitching Tips For Serious PitchersWarm up to throw; dont throw to warm up! I didnt coin that term, I believe it was Tom House. However, it is important that you do some jogging, arm circles, core twists and hip turns before you just start throwing the baseball.
Some other exercises to throw into your pitching workouts are walking leg work, karaoke side to side, forward and backward skips, forward and backward lunges with elbows up, tubing stretches and core exercises.
When you are done with practice, it is just as important to cool down. This is when you do static exercise work that includes the basic hamstring stretch, hip flexor and quad stretches etc.
To all baseball coaches out there:
Throwing on the mound is fifteen times more strenuous on the arm than throwing on flat ground. The latest research states that pitchers in Junior High and High School levels should not throw more than 75 pitches from the mound each week. It is also important to note that when a pitcher is tired the stress on his arm is multiplied greatly because he has difficulty maintaining proper pitching mechanics.
The day after one of your pitchers throws in a game; make sure they dont participate in long toss with the team. Throwing on the mound is a tearing down process on the arm regardless of how well your pitching mechanics are. A pitchers arm needs time to recuperate from the workload.
