1. Five things almost every baseball family believes about scholarships — and why each one quietly costs them money. After 40 years in this game, here's what I wish every family knew before they chased the first offer.
@gusipati19 Estos dos son los que más han armado delincuentes y dado impunidad a un sin fin de bandas en el país, mientras este tipo de criminales sigan al mando no habrá paz en Venezuela…!
Nolan Clenney going from 88-90 last offseason to 94-96 this offseason.
Pretty crazy differences in retrospect. Positions are fine to look at, more importantly however, is how you get there & move through them to ultimately direct energy into the baseball.

Full Pre-Throwing Band Routine 💪
There are many ways to execute the arm-specific part of your warm-up.
While bands are not mandatory (medballs, arm circles, indian clubs, shoulder tubes, etc. also work), if you're going to do them, take a logical approach to the routine.
The goal here is not strengthening, and you shouldn't be creating fatigue.
Overloaded arm care movements do have their place and can be done post-throw or worked into your weekly lifting routine.
The main goals for this band routine are:
1. Drive blood flow from scaps to fingertips
2. Improved motor control/muscle activation through a full range of motion
We can break this down into a few areas:
1. Fingers/wrist/forearm
Both the flexor-pronator muscles that help offload torque from the UCL, as well as the extensors and supinator that help with deceleration.
2. Elbow
Both the biceps and triceps, which serve deceleration and stabilization functions, respectively.
3. Scap
Driving range of motion, control, and stimulating both the accelerators (pec, lat), decelerators (low/mid trap, rhomboids), and scapular stabilizers (serratus).
4. Shoulder
Control and range through ER/IR, stimulating both subscap and posterior cuff while maintaining joint positioning.
Check out our YouTube for a step-by-step walkthrough of the routine, along with the most common mistakes ~90% of pitchers make when executing a band routine.
🚨 Offset Cone Drill : Infielding
• Work around + thru the ball
• Staying low & athletic
• Right-Left-Field breakdown
⭐️ Attack the ball + field it with momentum towards 1st base. Awesome Drill!
