Show Notes
I was an assistant coach on a travel team in Southeast Michigan from 1999 to 2003, and one of our main priorities was to protect the arms of our young pitchers — with large measures of communication, conditioning, and common sense. This podcast goes into some detail about our approach to preventing even sore arms, and there’s nothing complex about it. We considered as one of our most important accomplishments over those four years to be that every single pitcher under our supervision and tutelage remained healthy and avoided even minor arm injury. However, in 2002, I was involved in a circumstance of my own creation that may have contributed to the well-being of an opposing pitcher’s arm — a circumstance that I wish I could take back, even though all I did was talk to the home plate umpire.
