The Pitch – Keeping Our Pitchers Safe – Episode 25-4

Staying injury-free might be the single most important thing baseball players can do to raise their value.

Last year MLB teams paid over $1B to players who could not play. The majority of this was paid out to pitchers who could not throw due to injury.

The injury rates are at historical highs at every level of the game and it is literally changing how teams recruit players and especially pitchers.

Today we talk pitching, pitching performance & pitcher management with one of the games leading pitching coaches, Hector Barrios. Hector and I go WAY back and the work he is now doing with his approach to pitching has helped some of baseball’s best pitchers get better and some of the greatest young talent exceed all expectations.

No matter what level of the game you are at or what position you play: this is a conversation every baseball player, family and team should pay attention to.

Avoiding injury and maximize performance may seem overwhelming, but you might just be surprised at how simple it can actually be if you focus on the right things.

Once thing is certain, having a plan is a critical part of Creating Coachable Players and every performance plan must start with the fundamentals of performance, in this episode we narrow this down for you and explain exactly how and why the foundation of movement might be the key to it all.
