Baseball Workout Mistake #2 - A Disorganized Throwing Program
Coach Dan Huff, CSCS
I can't tell you how many coaches I talk to that tell their guys to
"go throw" without giving any clear direction. You wouldn't send
them into a weight room without telling them how many sets and reps
they need to do, would you? After you complete your warm up each day you will move into your
throwing program. Once you have completed both your dynamic warm up and your throwing
specific warm up you should be ready to get your glove on and start
throwing. Each throwing session begins with a gradual warm up toss to your
starting distance. Following your warm up toss you will move into
serious throwing for a specified number of throws. You will then
take a 5 minute break before going through your warm up tossing
again. The second round of throwing will begin to differ from the
first round as the weeks go on. You may be backing up for long
tossing followed by distance throwing. The distances may be the
same, but the throw is completely different. Think of long tossing
as lofting the ball gently over a long distance. On the other hand,
distance throwing is the type of throw you will use when you are
trying to throw a base runner out at the plate from deep in the
outfield.
