 many do not understand that throwing is a "whole body" approach both in the act of throwing and strength/conditioning.  

Conditioning is important.  But catchers' throwdowns are unique.  They're compact and violent. Nearly 100% arm.  Basically the opposite of a whole body approach.

Game7...interesting thought.

So this brings up a good question. Pitcher's who are trained to use the whole body approach to pitching are the ones who are freqently getting TJ. However, as you sugguested, catchers are "basically the opposite of a whole body approach" when throwing are not as frequent TJ canidates. Why?

  Here are some of the best in the game:

I am not an experienced catcher so my knowlege is limited on how catchers throw.... but I have seen catchers train at FBR and they use many of the same throwing protocols pitchers do. Are there any catchers on here that can wiegh in?
