    Expert Tips for Youth Baseball Pitching Development

    Expert Tips for Youth Baseball Pitching Development

    In Episode 7 of Season 9 here on THE Robby Row Show Baseball Podcast we’ll be discussing what I see as an extremely important factor when it comes to developing youth baseball players and more specifically youth pitchers. This Podcast episode was recorded for a YouTube segment in the lab which you can watch by clicking here
    This episode can provide insights for parents of youth baseball players as well as any baseball player struggling to find the joy they once had for this beautiful game we call baseball.

    Encouragements to Discouraged Youth Ballers + Their Parents
    Just another way of saying control the things you can control if you’re a parent of a youth athlete who is struggling to obtain confidence within a sport he/she loves. 
    Here’s 2 really big factors that I see worth emphasizing 👇
    A) FREEDOM TO FAIL ❌ 
    Control the environment to influence comfort at an early age.. determine how much competition needs to be sprinkled in because every kid is going to respond differently to performance but we can always create a safe environment initially to influence joy. Joy is going to be what propels the work for a kid. 
    B) REPS ON REPS ON REPS ON REPS ⚾️
    Freedom to fail is going to influence this dynamic a lot because what you end up creating is a kid who understands adjustments come from experience and experience can be amplified if we can increase the repetitions. Obviously there’s going to be a ton of questions pertaining to how much volume.. here’s my answer.. don’t limit/restrict any kid from reps.. unless there’s obvious health issues that need to be addressed.

    4 Tiers to Why I See PITCHING INJURIES on The Rise

    4 Tiers to Why I See PITCHING INJURIES on The Rise

    Piggybacking off the previous Episode in which we talked about the rise of Pitching related Injuries in baseball. Frickin injuries man.. such a passionate topic to discuss for me being someone who has personally dealt with numerous pitching related injuries throughout the course of a little over a decade in professional baseball. This has equipped me to share insights with you in hopes that you’ll be better prepared in your journey in this game to help mitigate the risks of any potential devastating arm injuries.  
    In Episode 6 of Season 9 here on THE Robby Row Show Baseball Podcast we’ll be diving into 4 tiers that I believe are influencing a rise in pitching related injuries over the course of the past decade. If you'd like to watch this episode for no reason but to see that my ipad in the background has clash of clans going you can do so by clicking this link - Watch Episode on YouTube 

    The 4 Tiers we’re going to be discussing are as follows: 
    Velocity - If you have dreams and aspirations of making it to the highest level possible in this game then there’s a dire need to enhance your Velocity. This truth has influenced a drastic change in how athletes in this sport (mainly pitchers) are preparing their bodies to accomplish this goal. This new age “Velocity Development” has taken a toll on how much the body/arm can take before it just breaks down. 
    ‘Do Less’ - We’re not just seeing more injuries at a professional level but also at an alarming rate amongst the youth. It baffles me to hear of 10-12 year olds having to get surgery from a pitching related injury. This IMO can slightly be attributed to a “Do Less” approach in youth throwers. Brake Pedal approach means you restrict the volume of throws in an effort to mitigate the risk of hurting your arm by not throwing a whole lot. But what we forget to mention is the importance of stress adaptation. Even at that age. 
    Design - We’re all pretty familiar with what “Pitch Design” is now that it’s gained a huge popularity within the Baseball performance industry. We can also attribute potential injuries to this dynamic due to a few different factors. Most importantly is how ‘Design’ days are being factored into the individuals work week. Another factor at play is the actual practice of ‘Design Days’ - Meaning I do believe there’s an efficient practice as well as there’s an inefficient practice. How you practice these specific days play a huge role in how your arm is going to respond. 
    Performance - This one can be tricky. There’s a whole conversation to be had pertaining to the way individuals are now perceiving their “development time.” Meaning back in the day it was more about kids just going out and playing games/competing throughout the summer. Whereas now we’re seeing kind of the opposite where kids are not playing games instead electing to spend multiple months ‘training’ - now I don’t want to say this in and of itself is inherently ‘BAD’ but I do believe this can be a factor when looking at the “WHY” these injuries are occurring throughout the sport and at a somewhat alarming rate. 

    If you've dealt with injuries in baseball or have thoughts on how young players can stay safe, I'd love to hear from you. Visit therobbyrowshow.com/ask to share your ideas and join the conversation. Let's work together to make baseball safer and more joyful for everyone.

    My Take on 'Why' So Many Pitching Injuries Today

    My Take on 'Why' So Many Pitching Injuries Today

    Welcome back to the SHOW! In the 5th Episode of Season 9 I’ll be giving my personalized opinion on the matter of ‘Pitching Injuries’ in the game of Baseball today and why we might be seeing more devastating/season ending injuries more in today’s game than we ever have before. I also share my own experiences and thoughts on how the game has changed over time, focusing more on throwing hard in an effort to get a job and even sustain a job. 
    Being someone who has over a decade of experience at the professional level, I’ve had my fair share of pitching related injuries as well as been around a lot of individuals who have gone thru the same process. This has equipped me to share insights with you in hopes that you’ll be better prepared in your journey! 
    We also discuss the risks of throwing too hard and how players seeking to find a balance to stay healthy should maybe look at their overall stress adaptation to meet the workload that their team requires. In relation to this episode, I'll talk about injuries in young players in a future episode and ask listeners to share their stories.
    If you've dealt with injuries in baseball or have thoughts on how young players can stay safe, I'd love to hear from you. Visit therobbyrowshow.com/ask to share your ideas and join the conversation. Let's work together to make baseball safer and more joyful for everyone.

    Discussing Post Surgery Rehab + Return to Throwing Program with Harmless

    Welcome back to the Pod! In the 2nd Episode of Season 9 on The Robby Row Show Baseball Podcast I sit down with Harmless AKA Chris Harms to take a deep dive into his rehab process after undergoing a Tommy John Brace and Repair surgery.

    I had the privilege of overseeing his throwing protocols coming back from the surgery as well as a bit of his training. And to say it was a super dope experience for me personally would be an understatement. Really proud of the kid for the continuous effort he put in day in n day out! And now we’re starting to see all that work behind the curtain pay off.

    I’ll throw links down below of some content throughout the journey as well as links we touched on during the episode.. just note that the plantar fasciitis segment we shot at ATP is still being edited so check in on my YouTube Channel to see if it’s been posted at the time of you listening to this episode.
