Reply to "Run after pitching"

I'm not convinced this is something that HAS to be done. There is information out there that says there is no lactic acid build up from pitching.

That being said, our HS team had the pitchers run/jog 10 "poles" after a pitching outing. At home games they did it immediately following the game. Away games, they did it the next day at practice or before the game. Looked to me like they were more jogging than running. Probably just enough to get the blood flowing.

I figure it can't hurt. Worst case scenario, they are getting in better shape.
