Position Player Arm Development

arm care athlete baseball position player strength Oct 11, 2023
 

After last week's post about a weekly arm care schedule for pitchers, I had several athlete's how they can use this structure if they do not pitch and only play the field. This is a great question and can be confusing due to several reasons:

  • Position player's main throwing is during catch play
  • During the game, they may only have 5-6 total high effort throws
  • Throwing velocity is still something that is beneficial for position players

In this week's post, I discuss how a position player can structure their catch play to develop their arm as well as keep it healthy throughout season. I also discuss when to use the specific strengthening programs in their throwing schedule.
