This episode we interviewed an expert from an MLB- level pitching staff on questions about arm care. 

• Thoughts on:
  • Ice
  • Running after throwing
  • Bands vs weights
  • Long toss
  • Weighted balls
• Any advice for young catchers who also pitch?
• Would you recommend against pitchers playing year round? And if so, how long of a rest period?
• Do you notice any particular qualities that differentiate pitchers you have worked with who seem more resilient from those who are more susceptible to injury?
• Would you recommend a certain age to start throwing breaking balls, and would it matter how often they throw those pitches?
• Pitch count guidelines, how important are they?
• It is more beneficial for young pitchers to play multiple sports?
