How much throwing in November and December?

I, for one, don't think you were putting down the program.  While I have seen the results from the NPA program, I can understand an outsider's hesitance to enter the program.  I don't know of another program that has moved a MLB team to employ the co-author.  We have seen the results through our players like Tyler Beede, Connor Jones, Zach Rice as well as pro guys like Steve Delabar and Brett Cecil.

And...with regards to the EvoCanes...it is truly more than a family.  I've been in baseball for a long time now and haven't found anything like this.

Your list of players speaks for itself. 

Thanks again for the info, are making a believer out of me.  I will send out an update on how effective the program my son is doing is.  If he gets the gain he is looking for and stays healthy doing it in a few months to bump the thread.

At the end of the day I just want him to achieve his dreams and I only have so much money to invest in coaching/programs etc...  so I am very careful about how I spend it.

I've dealt with pitchers since I stopped playing and started coaching...1997 and I am a firm believer of the "Nolan Ryan" philosophy that pitchers don't throw enough nowadays...I don't remember back in my days so many pitchers with sore arms and injuries...because we threw everyday.  I am not saying that's for everyone as each player has his own limitations but on our program we throw in the offseason (DEC-FEB) to work on strength, velocity, control, movement and injury prevention. 

For those of you in the know, what do major league and D1 pitchers typically do in the offseason?  Not saying (don't know), if HS kids should replicate this approach but it would be interesting to understand what they do.
