The #1 Strength technique to prevent Arm Injury

DrChrisMcKenzie ·
Do you have a Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior (SLAP) tear? Do you want to know how to prevent a SLAP tear, Elbow pain, or any significant injury from happening as a baseball player? Enter Chris, a 15y/o left handed pitcher who was throwing good heat for his age (sitting in the low 80's) without any formal pitcher training. Chris began developing a painful pinch on the back of shoulder early in the Spring of 2014 in the late cocking position. This pain eventually brought him to my...

Interesting How College Summer Ball Temp vs Full Contracts Can Work Out

Gov ·
I posted this in a recent thread having more to do with Collegiate Summer Leagues leading to draft...thought it would be a beneficial story to others going down this path in the next few years: Coastal Plains HC calls son yesterday asking him to come down for last two weeks. Said he'd rotate him between 2B, SS, 3B and play every game. This was the Temp Contract that ended due to the Full Contract guys all showing up. Amazing how this can work out.

Austin got into the Cape Cod League out of MIT, a Div. III university as a “temp”—a league term for fill-in walk-on who plays at the beginning of the season until the big boys from Arizona, Florida, Vanderbilt, et al arrive, and end up leading the league in homers, RBIs, finish third in slugging, and as everyone at MIT understands, finished third in Runs Created and lead the league in Isolated Power (ISOP). ... http://www.gammonsdaily.com/pe...al-manager-from-mit/ Starting as a temp in the...

Gov, you probably remember the case of Austin Filiere from MIT who was a temp in the Cape Cod League, tore it up and eventually became an 8th round draft choice. Great story. But too bad it ended with him getting cut after 2 years in MiLB. *ha RJM beat me at the buzzer.

I do remember Austin's story...very cool. And a bummer he got cut. He was able to pursue a dream, if only for a few years, but man, that is going to look good on a resume along with that MIT degree.

I saw Filiere play while at MIT versus Tufts a couple of games. He definitely stood out as an “it” player in a D3 game. He succeeded in the Cape League against some of the best college players in the country. Yet he was released after a couple of adequate minor league seasons. http://www.milb.com/player/ind...r/R/hitting/2018/ALL I watch a lot of BC ball. One kid I don’t believe has any more physical ability than Filiere is plugging away in his fourth year of minor league ball with a .200...

Was watching son's team last night as well as having recent conversations with him... very common this time of year for teams to start losing players and have to fill in for the last week or three, even surefire playoff bound teams. P's use up their allotted innings, others head home for a variety of reasons. Often, the teams will go back to those who came on under a temp contract seven weeks ago. Another interesting circumstance is how many players who were not getting sufficient innings...

Dr. McKenzie, if you are still available, i'd like to discuss my son's Avulsion fracture of left ASIS. He's a 14y.o. and any possible rehab suggestions you might have. Thx, Chesley Adams

Chesley, if you hover over Dr. McKenzie's username above, it shows that he has not logged on here since 2017 so this is probably not a good way to contact him. I looked to see if the website he posted a link to is active, but it is down. A quick Google shows that he has a new website up here, but it seems to be 100% dedicated to selling his book and doesn't have a way to contact him. https://unleashpitchingvelocity.com/ He does have a Twitter account, so a Direct Message there might work.
