Pitchers Fall Layoff

A lot has to do with the workload that your son has had. Some people will say a month others will say up to 3 months.

When pitchers are taking time off between seasons, however long it may be, when they take off throwing does this mean not touching a baseball at all or just not throwing game speed pitches? Ex. would occasional long toss be allowed?

In most circles taking time off of throwing means not touching a baseball period

Make sure all the muscles are in the right place when there is time off--especially in the shoulder. Last year I took a month+ off, came back and felt worse than ever in my shoulder. Shut it down for a week, did a lot of shoulder placement exercises, and I felt as good as new.

In my opinion, mechanics, strength, and flexibility should be the focus in a "time off."

I usually take 3 months of from pitching. 2 months of not even touching the ball and then another month playing catch and getting my arm back in shape. And when I start throwing again in November my arm feels great. This is also to say that I don't play fall ball to focus on school.

So is it fine to do tubing exercises daily during these months?

Definitely.

Always do tubing, it should be part of your workout routine.
