Your
current pitching motion makes you a Tommy John risk, but comes with an upside.
What makes me feel you're at risk for a Tommy John procedure?
Your current delivery produces many acceptable results, but even occasionally seeing any one of these 3 warning signs not only make you a Tommy John risk, but point to solutions that'll make you competitive advantage at the highest levels.
- You “rush” your deliver.- “Rushing” is your body's unhealthy adjustment to your throwing arm not being available to instantly respond to your “stride”.
- You change your arm slot. - Changing your arm slot is the unhealthy conflict between your mind demanding to have your throwing hand move through a healthy arm slot and your drive to make your arm slot produce more acceptable results.
- You miss your target outside your catcher's body much too often. – You’re missing your target outside your catcher’s body comes from the unhealthy conflict between your naturally healthy and naturally unhealthy arm slots.
What causes throwing arm injuries?
Throwing arm injuries come from the repetitive actions that cause small throwing arm ligament tears and fraying.
What does a healthy throwing arm action look like?
Every time you make a throwing action without consciously aiming at a target, your energy naturally flows from your lower body, up your core and into/out of your throwing hand.
How does something so simple have such grave consequences?
Simply put, you become a Tommy John risk when your naturally healthy release window fails to consistently find your target.
What do you do to make your command more acceptable?
You simply keep your current pitching motion intact and then change your outcomes by changing your arm slot.
Is changing your arm slot to change your pitching outcomes healthy?
Absolutely not!
When you begin your motion in the same way, to make sure you stay healthy and without concern for your results, your body wants to channel your energy from your lower body, up your core and out your throwing hand.
But wait, when you change your arm slot to improve your results, you redirect your natural energy flow away from your throwing hand. When you simply change your arm slot, your energy stops in your throwing elbow and creates the small ligament tears and fraying that typically make you a Tommy John risk.
