GAME CHANGER For Pitchers👇 Weighted squeezes and carries can be great for building a foundation for grip strength, but the key for protecting an elbow and making it more specific for a thrower is to target the finger flexors in a lengthened position, which means straight finger position. Why it matters:
⚾ The FDS and FDP muscles (both flexors of the fingers) directly support the medial elbow and act as a shield for the UCL. 
⚾ Training isometrics with the fingers straight puts these flexors in a lengthened position, which means more preset tension leading to stronger protection. 
⚾ Want an extra layer? Try it in a wrist extended position to further preload the flexor tendon chain. If you want to get more sniper specific for a Pitcher’s Elbow, give this concept a shot!

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

Coach offers the motivation that her player prefers, a breakdown

POV: you use force absorption to throw harder. When I was throwing in the mid nineties with the Phillies and Ranges. I never trained this, but now that I’m training to throw a hundred miles an hour, it’s one of my biggest focuses. Which is force absorption. Everyone talks about producing force to lift heavy, move fast, and be explosive. But no one talks about the other half of the equation. Which is can you actually absorb it. If you can’t absorb the force your body creates, you can’t use it. You just leak power. Think about the lead leg block. It has to stop your whole body at full speed, absorb that energy, then rebound it up the chain into the throw. If that leg isn’t strong enough to handle the load, all that energy dies in the ground. The same thing happens up top. Your pecs and shoulders have to absorb force when your arm lays back. If they’re not able to do this, your body is going to protect itself and slow it down, or worse break down. That’s when I realized how important force absorption is. So I started training it directly. For the lower body, I use a skater jump variation where I land on my front leg, just like a front leg block. It taught me to absorb and redirect force through that leg. Then I also added depth jumps, training my legs to catch and rebound energy instantly. For the upper body. I used slow, heavy eccentrics to build control and altitude drops, literally falling into a catch to teach my shoulders and pecs to absorb high speed force.

Terry Francona on Lowe getting the final spot on the roster. "It was the role. It’s a bench role. We really want Bleday and Hinds to play. We told them that. They both swung the bat really well. We talked to Lowe about the role. I think that’s the reason. I told Hinds, he couldn’t have done more. The role is a bench spot, and we want you to play."
