POV: You Use Med Balls to Develop an Elite Upper Body. Medicine ball work is one of my favorites because it forces you to incorporate the whole body. You’re not gonna be able to throw a medicine ball hard using just your pec. It forces the torso to stay closed because the left arm is connected to the ball. So you rotate, get the pelvis open, and because the left arm is still on the ball, it helps keep the torso closed and back. Now you can fire. The medicine ball also forces you to use your whole spine to throw. If you’ve ever tried throwing a medicine ball really hard, you know you have to use your entire body and spine to move it explosively. If you’re only using the arms, the ball’s just gonna move slowly. There aren’t really any specific medicine ball exercises that I focus on. For me, it’s more about the feeling. I want to feel the pelvis pulling and yanking the spine through the throw. I want to feel that stretch on every rep. That’s why the medicine ball is so good for developing this.

1/ ANYONE who tells you grip strength correlates to velocity is using lousy science Anyone who tells you a broad jump predicts arm health is using lousy science Anyone who shows you a "line of best fit" and calls it a pitching insight is using lousy science I'll explain . . .

@JonKarcich @LesLukach He got it from a speech John Scolinos gave at the ABCA. The original says players are either marshmallows, jelly beans or rocks. Both are legendary coaches.

For some reason 20 years later I haven’t forgotten my recruiting trip to Arizona. The Hall of Fame coach Andy Lopez asked me in his recruiting pitch: “Are you a rock… or a jelly bean?” Both are hard on the outside. Jelly bean? Soft in the middle. Rock? Solid all the way through. Reflecting on that… that wasn’t about baseball (okay, a little)... That was about who you are when things don’t go your way. Because a lot of guys look tough… until failure hits. Bad game. Benched. Things don’t go as planned. That’s when you find out. Being a rock doesn’t mean you don’t feel it. It means you’re grounded. You don’t crack. You respond. 20 years later… I still think about that question. So when things speed up and adversity hits… Ask yourself: Are you a jelly bean right now… or a rock? Your response to adversity will give you the answer. I know other players who heard that same question too. Curious your thoughts on it from a great coach. As a fan and competitor, I respected the way he went about it. Be solid. PTLG. @CoachAndyLopez

@CoachSwit I read that too but there isn’t a peer reviewed study to prove or disprove. From my experience it tends to be true.

@FystroR I think you’re right; I read a DR said anytime a pitcher goes 30 pitches in an inning increase of injury’s goes up.

Asking for a friend… High school coaches— don’t you think if a pitcher is at 50+ pitches in one inning… he’s probably had enough? I’m sure someone will jump in and explain why that’s “okay”. 😂

@CoachSwit @FystroR 100%. Pitching 50 in one inning vs 50 over 5 innings is completely different. One is full of stress with bad command and the other is in a grove feeling great.

@JWonCATCHING One of the best speeches ever. His “marshmallow, jelly bean, rock” speech is another must listen.

With the ABCA Convention on the horizon in DC, let us not forget the great John Scolinas. This is an excerpt from his HOME PLATE speech.
