tt"j; b Ptchers at all ages should throw every day. Ths can nclude warm-ups workng up to long toss or just playng catch. Every throw should be done wth correct mechancs. Poor mechancs s the #1 cause ofthrowng njury. fyou are not sure what proper mechancs are contact your local ptchng coach/nstructor or Cautl Orthopaedcs (215) 504-6101 for nformaton on learnng proper ptchng mechancs. Bullpen sessons should be done on the 2 nd day after ptchng n a game Bullpen sessons should be performed at 75-80% effort. Bullpen s a tme to work on form/mechancs ptches/grps locaton and strategy. Bullpen s a great tme to talk wth your ptcher about ptch-by-ptch strategy for dfferent types of htters (when to throw offspeed when to challenge etc). Recommcnd('d A~(\s for Varous Ptches Ptch :\~e to Begn Fastball (4-seam 2-seam) 9-10 Change-up (crcle fork) 10-11 Knuckleball 13-16 Curveball 14-16 Slder 16-18 Spltter 17-18 Screwball 17-19 Remember successful ptchng s about locaton locaton locaton and changng speeds. Untl a ptcher can locate hs fastball where he wants consstently there s no need to change speeds. Untl a ptcher can locate hs change-up where he wants there s no need to throw a movement ptch. When a ptcher can locate hs fastball and change-up he wll be a domnant ptcher. When a ptcher can locate hs ptches and change speed at the rght tme he wll be a great ptcher. When a ptcher can locate all of hs ptches throw the correct ptch at the correct tme and control hs emotons on the mound he s ready for the next level!!
