Before shutting down hitters in the NLCS and World Series with back-to-back shutouts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was seen working with a turbo javelin, dialing in mechanics that mirror elite throwing patterns seen in track and field athletes. This video breaks down how javelin training can translate to elite pitching performance, helping pitchers improve their arm path, sequencing, and force transfer — all while reducing unnecessary stress on the elbow and shoulder.As MLB pitching velocity continues to rise, so do the rates of Tommy John surgery across the league. We’re seeing more pitchers than ever hit upper-90s velocity, but at the cost of increased UCL strain and overuse injuries. This clip looks at how Yamamoto’s hybrid approach — combining javelin-based movement drills with high-level throwing mechanics — could represent the next evolution in pitcher training and arm health.If you’re a baseball player, pitching coach, or performance coach trying to understand the balance between velocity and longevity, this is a must-watch.💥 Key Topics Covered: • Yamamoto’s turbo javelin warm-up and its benefits for arm speed • How javelin training improves throwing mechanics for pitchers • Why Tommy John surgery is rising alongside average MLB velocity • How rotational sequencing and mobility affect both power and health
