Reply to "Learning How To Prepare in College"

That’s a very comprehensive routine. Most HS pitchers have not a clue how to warm up properly before a game. College is usually where the smart guys figure it out. I will resist temptation to make old man commentary about your music selections. However, I would advise against long toss in excess of 120’. Anytime you extend beyond that distance you are changing your release point (and probably dropping your elbow) in order to increase the carry of the ball. When that occurs you are now practicing a motion that you won’t take to the game mound. I’m also not crazy about throwing 120’ with an 11oz ball. Be careful with that. I would recommend that you only throw that distance with the 7 oz ball. And not very many throws. Just my opinion.
