Mike Greene commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."From a credentials standpoint I am talking about medical experts as well as college coaches and professional players. In my previous post I said that a coach that puts a catcher on the mound is not looking for a pitcher. He is looking for someone to…"
Leo Trayner commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Mike, You were telling me in the previous post it was ok to put a catcher on the mound because he was " not really pitching." Pitch counts are guidelines not a rule. A player can achieve fatigue at pitch 30 playing a back to back in a…"
Mike Greene commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Leo, 40 games per year is typically less than one tournament a month. Our coaches are all trained to watch for signs of change in mechanics during games. We have everyone on pitch counts (including catchers) to avoid the fatigue issues.
I have no…"
Leo Trayner commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."@Mike- I have had tremendous experiences coaching Travel Ball and other competitive sports on multiple levels. My issue is with kids at 8-9 y/o playing 40+ games in a season or playing year round w/o time off.
Based on your comments, I think you…"
Mike Greene commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Guys, one of the biggest issues of pitching and catching has not even been addressed in this thread. The mechanics of throwing from the bump and behind the dish are not the same! It's not even close. Watch any serious catcher throw the ball and…"
Anthony Vontobel commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."I feel you can learn and play both positions, I did it from 9-16, then primary pitching because I am left handed but thats a whole other discussion, like Leo said 9 year old travel ball its all about coaches and getting their egos boosted because…"
Leo Trayner commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Will,
Even some of the greatest to ever play this game accomplished some amazing feats as far as innings, # of pitches, SO's etc. Players today are practicing and playing more games/tournaments than ever before.
What was once the local little…"
Will Laurence commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."I agree with all of the comments about safety and protecting young arms, but when I was a kid and into high school I played with a guy who would catch 6 innings and come in to close out big games. Power arm, threw darts. He was like a…"
BRANDON BULL commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."I think travel ball will change the game. It is preparing these kids at a much younger age to play at a high level. There are questions that remain to be answered with travel ball as well--are the boys going to get burned out? will…"
STEFAN GOLDMAN commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Since I see this at 8 yr olds and work with minor and major league players,, I always ask their input and history.I agree on the pitching mechanics at an early age, and organizationally we have a former first rounder as a pitching coach, and for the…"
Leo Trayner commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Where I come from Rec ball is for those that are interested in playing baseball. We don't have kids not make a Rec team! We also don't allow Travel players to play in Rec leagues in some instances.
I am concerned that they would have kids…"
Leo Trayner commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."Bill,
Outstanding article on the topic and the "underdog". Funny thing is I spent a few yrs in the Redland area in a town called Yucaipa. I guess I'll drum up another question.
Why are so many Latin players and Asian players so much…"
BRANDON BULL commented on BRANDON BULL's blog post Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend."I don't think anybody would argue that we want to keep the players injury free. Are there some coaches out there where the desire to win clouds their judgement? Absolutely. As far as pitching mechanics goes i think the earlier you…"

Playing Pitcher and Catcher in the same weekend.

I coach a 9U travel team. My questions is this should a player be able to play both pitcher and catcher in the same weekend? My concern here is injury short term and long term as well as what is best for the team. I have no shortage at either position but the players would like to do both. At this point I have said no due to injury from overthrowing as well as overall fatigue as I expect alot out of both positions. I believe if both positions are played correctly they should be tired. …
