The Challenge of Weather

"Sit by the window and wait for spring"

Seriously, this is a good time to take some time off from throwing. Let your shoulder and elbow rest for awhile. As a pitcher, you've likely been throwing for anywhere between 8-10 months and you really need to give your arm a break..

You have to find facilities and enough people that want to practice that can make it worthwhile. Personally, I have my own gym since I am a coach and teacher and so, my kid can throw and hit at any time. If fact, I'm so proud of her. She threw today both overhand and underhand (pitcher) without pain. She's been on the DL for some time and so was giddy when the trainer told her tonight was the night. Still, having mentioned that, we anticipate going out until it is below 40. Today the wind was so strong. She will play at 40 next spring. You guys up north will as well. The diamonds should be decently dry so that you can get work in. Really, it's about deciding the difference between excuses and reasons. Good luck!

A great time to rest the arm and work to core!

Gamer, any specific core exercises/drills that you recommend?

There plenty out there. I recommend mixing it up every week or two. This way it doesn't get redundant and boring. Also different excerises work different muscle groups. Use the medicine ball if possible. Do cardio before and after.

Try the strength and conditioning part of this website many good people and great ideas and different workout plans. RRf did you try the book I recommended to you a while back?

2bagger, I was unable to find it at the time. Thanks for the reminder. Now that the season is over I have more time to keep looking.
