Predicting Injury
Weaknesses in Pitching
Motions
To
see whether you're
injury prone or injury
resistant take a
critical look at whether
you keep your Shoulder
square and horizontal
throughout your motion.
Next, watch your Head
movement. When your
Head fails to move down
before your Head moves
forward, you're likely
to tilt your Shoulders
and be extremely injury
prone.
When
we talk about your Head
moving down, we're
talking about your Back
Leg gradually and
continually loading
throughout your motion.
As long as you
synchronize your Arms
and Legs with your Back
Leg load, you're
allowing your Shoulders
to remain horizontal.
Warning: As soon as you
allow your Back Leg to
collapse, your Shoulders
move to less than
horizontal and you
create an injury prone
motion.
Level
Shoulders produce a
natural release point.
All the energy you store
in your Back Leg moves
into your Throwing Hand
and you display flawless
ball control.
As
soon as your Shoulders
tilt, you'll still throw
from a natural release
point, but, in this
instance, your natural
release point produces
less-than-desirable ball
control. Now, in order
to get the baseball to
you target, your forced
to change your Throwing
Forearm angle to get the
baseball to your
target. Essentially,
you rely on Eye/Hand
coordination to find
your target. Most of
the time, with an injury
prone motion, you've
successfully pointed
your future toward a
relief role.
Every Motion Produces
the Same Force
Whether this force goes
into your Throwing Hand
or your Throwing
Elbow/Shoulder depends
upon your Shoulder
orientation.
In an
injury resistant motion,
a motion where your
Shoulders stay
horizontal and your Head
moves down prior to
moving forward, all the
force moves into your
Throwing Hand.
With
Eye/Hand coordination,
the force intended for
your Throwing Hand melts
away into your Throwing
Elbow/Shoulder. Allow
even a small portion of
your energy to move into
your Throwing Arm long
enough and you become
extremely injury prone.
Your Lower Body Drives
Your Shoulder
When
you keep your Shoulders
horizontal, you
typically land your Foot
Strike milli-seconds
before your horizontal
Shoulder rotate around
your Head. Your Lower
Body rotation drives
your Throwing Hand
through a natural
release. With
horizontal Shoulders,
your Throwing Hand
releases each pitch just
above your Throwing
Elbow.
With
titled Shoulders, your
Hips rotate long before
(as compared to
horizontal Shoulders)
your Shoulders rotate.
The force generated by
your Lower Body still
creates a natural
release point, but, as
stated earlier, you're
forced to change your
Throwing Hand release to
outside your Throwing
Elbow.
