As we begin our winter throwing on-ramp for our athletes who played fall ball remember that throwing more, not less, is a good thing Tournament baseball & showcases are here to stay As long as there's money to be made & people continue to buy the product, they'll continue Young players are pitching more than ever before (high stress) & playing catch less than ever before (low stress) Many players that I interact with pitch & play on weekends & then throw only once during the week before playing again on the next weekend This is the exact opposite of what you should be doing Throwing volumes should be 75% low-intensity catch play & 25% high-intensity competition reps Players today are competing with a volume of high-intensity reps that is too high for their level of throwing endurance If you're competing on the weekends, you should be playing catch at least four days a week. Building your foundation for competition starting now will keep you on the field and competing to win in the spring!
