These are great thought from Paul Assainte, the squash coach at Trinity College. 13 National Championships & 252 straight wind. Taken from today’s Daily Coach Blog.
Pitching injuries & IL stints are at an all time high. There are numerous reason for that but one that is getting a lot of traction is fatigue. There are all kinds of monitors & predictors for pitching readiness,but many injuries occur during games when pitchers cross the fatigue line. There is live game data mostly velocity radar gun related. By then it is often too late. IMO if you watch the game there are some subtle indicators. One of the many is the time between pitches. Often,not always, when pitchers are fatigued they take more time between pitches. Especially with the 20 second clock, it is very subtle. It’s not so much as when they pitch within that 20 second window, but more when they start their process. This is pretty nuanced since game state has an affect on pitching tempo. It is also very individualized. It’s just another awareness factor that MAY help you avoid a fatigue related injury before a more quantifiable data point surfaces.(IE velocity/arm slot/extension etc.)
