Believe this or not - but every pitcher.. needs to maintain symmetry .. as soon as he removes the ball from his glove.. if you are a short arm thrower.. you would best to serve yourself - to remove the ball from the glove - when the glove is around…

I believe that good training will help eliminate many physical problems and lessen the degree to which and injury can occur. When I started my career I worked as part of the Strength & Conditioning staff for the New York Yankees and I would always h…

I like the comment Michael. I can't stress enough about how important it is to work on your hip/glute strength and flexibility! Many arm problems are caused from weakness or instability of other joints!! Please, all pitchers...do not overlook the im…

Kyle the only guys making sense here are Coach Ayres and Chaz Henry. It sounds like you were using too much arm and not allowing you lower body do the work, so your shoulder has become the point of overcompensation. Use the video, but it is critical…

DaCoach: I agree with Coach Ayres. Your body throws the ball and the arm only guides and releases the ball. I suggest to stride straight to the plate with an extended stride, the same length in inches as your actual height. Nolan Ryans' stride was a…

Joel Wetherell replied to Martin Siry's discussion 'Mechanics'
Martin, do you curl your wrist around the ball before releasing it? This is an enabler to short arming. Try pointing your wrist away from you before bringing your arm forward. You don't need to go through the entire wind up to practice. Just start f…

Coach Bill Ayres replied to Martin Siry's discussion 'Mechanics'
Martin, I would concentrate on your stride and the speed of movement your lower body produces. I have taught my pitchers for 24 years that the arm does only 2 things. 1 it holds the ball and 2 it aims the ball. THATS IT! When you teach your lower bo…

Labrum surgery is not your biggest problem, like you said. Tinkering with Mechanics can cause all the problems. My first recommendation is to begin working on your hips, lats and glutes. All three areas need to become more flexible (especially the l…

Who is your favorite pitcher and why?
Billy Wagner, just the way he attacks hitters and has the fire and drive after each pitch. Also, the way he fought back after injury to come back throwing again in the Mid-90's is an amazing feat
