New exercises to protect the UCL ligament and enhance baseball pitching spin rate. Here's a follow-up video of me showing some of the exercises we've been doing with the rubber bands after reading the research report published a couple of months ago. Check out my post earlier in the week for more information on the research. We've been doing a couple of variations of these rubber-band exercises for both isotonic and isometric holds on the first three fingers. They really light up the forearm! And the best part? It's just simple rubber bands. These have become a staple in our Tommy John rehab, but I think there's a bigger performance implication here, with prior research suggesting potential improvements in pitch design and spin rate.

Best ⚾ Pitcher Mobility Drill A common problem for baseball pitchers is the gradual tightness and loss of ROM in the shoulder over the course of the game and season. The goal is to restore mobility BEFORE your athlete picks up a ball and then maintain it. Try the “2-Out Drill” to warm up your athlete before pitching and to maintain mobility between innings throughout a game. 👇 Here it is: 1️⃣ Static Stretches - you want to start with these and hold each pose for only about 3 seconds. Exercises like the cross-body stretch and wrist flexion. 2️⃣ Rotator Cuff Activation Drills - these will really fire up the rotator cuff and warm it up. Perform 5 circles forward and 5 circles back in both large circles and small circles. 3️⃣ Movement Prep - here you really want to get dynamic, with cross-body hugs, swims, and field goals, about 5 each. 4️⃣ Trunk Rotation - Lastly, we’re going to work on trunk rotation drills This entire drill might take 1-2 minutes but has been shown scientifically to improve ROM and performance over the course of a game. It’s designed to be quick enough to do for pitchers in the dugout when there are two outs and they are getting ready to head back out. Want to work with professional baseball players?
