Pitchers - Day 1

Mon., Aug 29, 2011Pitching practice - Day 1
We are in the process of finalizing the practice schedule for Day 1 on Thursday. Our new pitchers will be introduced to our pitching program. We will start with long toss instruction the first day.

Here is an online video of how we instruct our pitchers to do long toss to strengthen their arms.

As a former pitcher, I am an advocate of a lot of throwing. As Ranger's pitching coach Mike Maddux say "Pitch counts are limits."

Our goal every year is to condition pitcher physically and mentally to go nine innings. The groundwork begins this fall.
