Reply to "Flat ground throwing"

Fungo,
I am thinking you hit the eggnog early.

And your points were some I made to son, catchers, infielders, outfielders have great arms, and throwing on flat ground doesn't hurt them.

So I did a little checking. Flat ground work should only be for conditioning for pitchers and it is ok for them to let full out if they feel comfortable with that, no harm done, no matter what distance they are throwing from. However, pitchers velocity only counts when throwing from the mound and what he is throwing (in other words how he utilizes that mound, his mechanics on the mound). No need to be concerned with what velo is anywhere else. Not my opinion but someone elses.
