Reggie, Throwing does build arm strength by repeating the motion and using the specific muscles involved. Long tossing is one of the best ways to help develop arm strength. I would not begin to argue that they have to "Pitch" to do so. I think the proper word is "Throw".
"Believe me when I say NON are effective 14u and up unless they learn how to pitch" ...
biged - just curious what you mean above? Are you saying that ALL 14U athletes need to learn to pitch or are you saying the "throwers" need to learn to be "pitchers" to stay successful in that spot? Tks GY
As abhorrent as allowing a pitcher to get to 60-70 pitches, what about the coach who then keeps that player in the game moving him to infield, or worse to the outfield because that player is one of the "studs".
abhorrant pitch counts
