So, your saying that the shoulders are just along for the ride. Interesting. The hands do all of the work and the shoulders do nothing. I wonder what we'd see if they hit without shirts. I'm betting we'd see a lot more than you think in that shoulder region.
Per the pitching and scapula loading, I've talked to several college coaches at any number of levels. I'd bet that more of them use scapula loading drills for both their catchers and pitchers than don't. Of course, if we buy into the fact that the hands don't need the shoulders then I would guess that logically that would apply to pitching as well.
I'm not buying into that.
