My question is about pitchers routines they pitch a game to day what should they be doing the next 5 days before there next start ?
J.A.Omalley asked: The fourth day they throw a tune up bullpen, 25- 30 pitches, along with the team drills we are doing, still limiting their throwing in the drills. We use the practice drills and situations to get their running in. When our games start, we are playing 2 to 4 days a week. There are times we have to adjust their workouts, maybe throw their tune up pen after the game that day is over. If we are on the road, we generally throw the tune up pen at home the day before. Anytime they pitch in practice, we require them to ice after. They also have to ice after every game they pitch. The biggest adjustment we do is limiting their position throwing during the season, if they are a pitcher. Those throws all add up over the course of the season, so we let them do enough to stay sharp, but not stress the arm. This has worked in our situation. It comes down to learning your kids, and adjusting what each one does to their individual situation. Some kids have that proverbial rubber arm, never show any stiffness, bounce back quickly. Others take longer. Good luck as you go forward! Yours in baseball, Rick ** I noticed you live in Binghamton, is that Binghamton, NY? I grew up in Elmira Heights, we moved to Arizona when I was 9. Had an uncle who was a teacher and eventually the Superintendent of Schools in Vestal. Rick
