Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That's why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It's a natural movement in softball. In baseball it's not a natural movement.
A pitcher's arm goes, and they're done.
People don't realize I tore my rotator cuff when I was 12 or 13. At that time, being so young, we decided just to not have surgery.
I think all volleyball players are playing with some type of shoulder injury. You use it so much.
I tore my right shoulder to pieces - three external tears, a labrum tear, and a detachment of the bicep tendon.
A torn rotator cuff is a cancer for a pitcher and if a pitcher gets a badly torn one, he has to face the facts, it's all over baby.
I stay away from straight bench; all the work I do is with dumbbells to protect my rotator cuffs. Then I'll do a bunch of different pull moves like inverted rows before finishing with some simple internal or external rotations with a band to strengthen my shoulder.
I had to have shoulder reconstruction.
