Re: Good news to report....
Does anyone know how the LHP Brent Fisher with Tolleson HS is doing this season? My son played on a JO team with him. Thanks.

Re: Good news to report....
He's doing quite well. I've had him as a fringe kid on our watchlist but he's moving up rapidly. Last night he got a nice region win in a 2-1 5 hit victory over Peoria Ironwood.

Re: Division III
EMurray15- Western NY has several D-III schools that are very good academically as well as from a baseball perspective. SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Brockport, SUNY Cortland, RIT, and St John Fisher are just a few. All have strong programs, on and off the field. Be prepared to work hard --- D-III doesn't mean "easier". Fredonia, Brockport, and Fisher all were interested in my son. He chose to go elsewhere, but I would have had absolutely no issue with him going to any of these schools, baseball or...

Re: Division III
Yeah I have been talked to by Fredonia and their coach came and saw me play. I have sent info to Cortland and Brockport but have not received anything back yet. Haven't checked out St. John Fisher yet. I might do that. Thanks PioneerDad.

Re: Beach District Week 3 (March 26-31)
Saw last 3 innings, landstown looked like they where coming back Faison and Blankenship with back to back triples, Faison kid can fly! Couldn't believe Hinton got hosed at third, after back to back triples the outfield was playing pretty deep don't think he had a chance. I didn't see the bottom half of landstown line up do anything, coach hart is going to have to figure out something. I bet ferrante wishes he could have his last ab over again, can't see him striking out looking again.

Re: Sons that are starting their HS Journey
I'm a little late to the party, but the decision was internal to you and your son. Another’s interpretation of baseball/parenting etiquette is exactly that….their vision, and it may or may not be applicable to your particular situation. No disrespect to the opinions offered but your relationship was the governing factor (assuming the tryout was open). In my case I chose not to attend, but it wasn’t because I thought my presence would retard my son’s growth or I’d be viewed as a helicopter...

Re: Sons that are starting their HS Journey
Thanks Marklaker, I decided early on that I would support my son throughout his baseball career. It's funny because I too remember my son hitting plastic balls off a fisher price tee. I grew up playing baseball, HS up to D1 with no father too watch me play. He worked long hours to support and provide fr the family. I understood it by I wished he was their. My son and I have that special bond and he enjoys seeing me at his games and never minded me watching his TB practice. I realize it will...

Re: Different Kind Of Bowl Game Punishment
This sounds like the situation at the University of Michigan in the late 80's early 90's in basketball. The head coach accepted the job at Arizona just before the start of the NCAA tournament on the assumption he would still coach in the tournament. But the AD - Bo Schembechler - told him to pack his bags and go on to Arizona. The guy who replaced him (pretty sure last name is Fisher - but can't remember) ended up winning the whole thing. I see both sides - don't accept a new job until AFTER...

Re: Different Kind Of Bowl Game Punishment
I was going to use the same example. I believe Bo said that Bill Frieder is no longer a "Michigan" man. Steve Fisher took over... he's currently at San Diego State.

Re: Football commitments
Yesterday, during the second hour of field maintenance activities, my 2015 announced he was taking his talents to Tallahassee. Despite never playing a down of tackle football, he thought FSU was a good fit athletically. National and local media was non-existent; however, the backup catcher (sports editor for school paper) will publish his announcement next month. Asked for a comment, Coach Fisher asked, "who?".

Re: Saban bolts Miami for 32 million reasons
Great coach, I agree. However, between his transient track record and his newfound home in Has-Been Alabama, the recruits you are talking about will go elsewhere. Jimbo Fisher had as much to do with Saban's success at LSU as Saban himself....and Jimbo is on his way to Tallahassee after making mincemeat of Weiss's bunch. My prediction: An Alabama buy out in less than 5 years and no top 5 finishes!

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Are you advocating forearm 'flop/lay back' backwards with your forearm at 90 degrees? Is that what MLB pitchers do? In video 3, you are advocating using weighted balls to increase your range of motion in external rotation. Why does my ROM need to increase? What is the ideal ROM angle?
Reply
Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Essentially, yes. And depending on what major leaguers you look it, it is what I tend to see. I would like to promote more of a focus of 90 degrees with the angle of your back, but there are guys that very on this part of mechanics. I have found that when my external rotation is at its max potential, the rest of my mechanics are where I want them to be. I will address the rest of your questions in two ways. ROM can refer to both static and dynamic ROM. A good way to tell the differences is...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Just to add two cents, most of the players I work with have too much external rotation and not enough internal rotation. Most players that develop elbow issues have this exact imbalance: Internal Rotation Deficit. Not trying to be negative or argumentative in any way, but just what I have seen over 20 years. Not sure why a player would want to create that type of imbalance of ER to IR. additionally, it is not just the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) that allows these folks to get into these...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Do you have an example of a pitcher who has that issue? I'm curious to see an example of a pitcher with that issue. Throughout the process of changing my arm action and overall mechanics, I was pretty consistently told that I have good internal rotation, when my external rotation was poor. So that is something I have little to no focus on that part of my mechanics. I also did very little research on internal research in general, so I am not very knowledgeable about the issues associated with...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Jimster- The DriveLine article you reference in your write up talks about the IR issues. Specifically the Sleeper Stretch. This is all new to me but has become a hot topic in my household since my son has developed scapular issues. He has very limited IR on his throwing arm compared to his non-throwing arm. This is typical of throwers acording to his Physical Therapist. Also he has been doing Jaeger bands 3 times a week for 2 years now and they are great for the rotator cuff, but don't do...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
I remember the part the article a little. Is internal rotation lack of ROM just referencing a static stretch comparison or you're mentioning? Or is their something when those pitchers throw that show an issue too. I have read about pitchers having the issue your son is having, but I have not heard of any issues in the actual pitching motion. Similar to how I talk external rotation. You can see the level of external rotation you achieve. Is there something that you can see when you look at...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
I am not sure of a way to tell in the actual throwing motion. I am just a dad and know very little about this. The PT showed his lack of IR by comparing his IR via the Sleeper Stretch on both sides. His throwing side would not rotate without his shoulder blade moving forward with it. He had done normal stuff (only 14) not heavy lifting. Pushups and light weights etc.. Unfortunately if your scapular muscles are not activating then instead of these exercises making them stronger your body...

Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Anybody want to take a guess on how many baseball players I've stretched into external rotation of the shoulder? Volleyball hitters? That's right--- Exactly ZERO. They already have excessive ER and by stretching it, all I would do is stress the already stressed joint..
Reply
Re: External Rotation-What it is and how to improve it
Not everyone has excessive or complete external rotation nor am I promoting static stretching of it. Or any type of stretching. My article talks improving arm action so external rotatiom(that naturally occurs)can happen. I don't really understand the purpose of your post and it seems kind of combative. If you have seething to add to the conversation, please do. But please add comments that relate to the topic on hand. Thanks!
