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.
