    Dr. Andrews - “Baseball is a Development game, both in physical and skill maturation.

    Guidelines

    1) Velocity Training - Max effort throwing. Max effort training. Contributes to problems in all areas.

    2) Multiple Teams - no planning or accountability compounds the negative effect of all other guidelines.

    3) Inadequate Rest - weekly, monthly, annually. Year-round competition. Recommends 3-4 months off from throwing for amateur ball players.

    4) Showcases - multiple peaking in the annual schedule. Max effort performance.

    5) Professionalism - training youth players as professionals

    6) Improper throwing mechanics - misunderstanding of the proper rhythm and timing in the delivery.

    High School Pitchers 80 mph - near max torque, must pay attention to the above guidelines. 85 mph - close to the red zone, the above guidelines must be adhered to. 90 mph - above guidelines become the mandatory lifeline to long-term health.

    Genetics is the Russian Roulette we do not know, both positive and negative. Understanding this, it's crucial to follow the guidelines to the letter, as they are designed to mitigate these risks.

    The current environment created by:

    1) Showcase and travel baseball - year-round peaking, short stints of performance, similar to MLB relievers

    2) Max effort chase of velocity - promotes improper throwing mechanics, instant gratification. Quick results, not sustainable.

    3) MLB analytics - quest for shorter outings, promoting velocity in media and social media.

    4) Bounce back effect

    5) Current professional scouting and college recruiting practices Past podcasts have spoken about the intrinsic factors in development Physical, Mental and Emotional. Real Life Stories Flavor of the month - parents like to hear what they want to hear.
