My son attended a very good camp this past winter and the coaches emphasized for all players that when doing long toss the ball should never be more then 20 or so feet off the ground. They explained that no one makes throws that sail way up in the air and if you do this your not really working the appropriate muscles (or portions of muscles). It makes sense to me.
For position players (in particular – catchers), is a long toss program that calls for a crow hop and full wind up the way to go or is it better to long toss the way you would normally throw in a game at your particular position. Thoughts…..I think I’m going to encourage my son to do both
