Eric Cre sey made a dire prediction.We are going to see a rash of Tommy Johns in the next month, Cre sey, of Cre sey Sports Performance. Were going to see probably 30-40 guys. . . . That doesnt even count the guys who are getting hurt in minor league camp. The question becomes why and I think it comes down to guys are showing up (to spring training)unprepared.PART 1: How and why are pitchers unprepared for spring training? Spring training is a time to build arm strength and get back in shape for the season, right? Cre sey strongly rejects this notion. Spring training is not training by any means. Spring training is baseball. There is no training. Training needs to take place in the offseason. Its pretty much spring competing. Youre two weeks in and youre in games.Cre sey touches on two closely related probable causes of increased injury rates early in the season: players showing up unprepared and what happens at camp after pitchers and catchers report. Both are important and both play a ma sive role in the health, or lack thereof, of pitchers.Teams are certainly aware and try to mitigate the risk by givingtheir pitchers offseason throwing programs to help them prepare prior to showing up to camp. Kyle Boddy of Driveline Baseball deals with many profe sional pitchers in the offseason and observes, Ive seen the throwing programs these players get in the offseason and theyre just horrible. Theyre like, (on)Feb.1 get out to 120 feet and make 30 throws. Instead of following them as scripted, he notes, The vast majority of pitchers ignore those throwing programs. They dont listen to it. They do their own thing.Boddy offered anotherenlightening example of exactly how some team-i sued throwing workouts can lead to a substantial risk in arm health. Relating to the concept of managing stre s in , he said:In a game, lets say every time you throw a ball it is 100 units of force on the arm, and their offseason program preps them to accept at maximum 55 units of force on the arm.Based on what these experts say about the conservative nature of team-i sued throwing programs largely devoid of long to s or weighted ball work, Boddys approximations seem about as accurate as they can be as an example.They bring you in (to spring training)to throw your bullpen, and your bullpen requires 75 units of force," he said. "Live BP is closer to 90 units of force and then games are 100 units of force. So your body has been used to accepting 55 units of force to going to accepting 100 units of force in 11 days.MORE: This is clearly an exce sively accelerated buildup, and Boddy is pa sionately opposed to this model. Theres no fing reason that should happen," he said. "It is obvious guys are going to get hurt because they havent trained anywhere close to the threshold they need to.He offers this alternative:Its why long to s and weighted balls are great modalities, because it gets you to 100, 110, 120 units of force. . . . The athlete trains so far above his threshold, that threshold has increased to where he is able to withstand more force.He is able to produce more so he throws harder. Then when he goes in games and throws bullpens at 100 units of force, since hes prepared at 110 to 120 units of Terrell Owens Jersey force, theoretically he should get hurt le s. People who train at Driveline and such should get hurt le s because theyve trained so hard in the offseason.Alan Jaeger of Jaeger Sports shares this sentiment. He said that during the start of spring training, there generally is way too much throwing off the mound from the onset Frank Gore Jersey , and not enough focus on arm conditioning during this period. Its a black-and-white i sue to me.With a schedule that typically includes bullpens every other day, then live BP, then the start of games, Jaeger believes pitchers are "so taxed from all of the mound work that their arm conditioning suffers because they have such reduced time to recover and restore.As a result of the standard schedule, These guys' arms are being deconditioned. That is a powerful word that demonstrates the sincerity of Jaegers belief in the power of building up the arm properly before engaging in bullpen, live BPor game work, especially considering the competition to win a job during spring training.If you show up to spring training and you havent thrown a single bullpen, even if youve done a fair amount of stuff, flat ground, long to s, all that, theres nothing that simulates getting on a mound with a batter in the box getting aggre sive, Cre sey said.The stre s of throwing a bullpen for a job is significantly higher than playing catch at 55 units of force or even throwing a bullpen prior to the ones in front of the people who decide the fate of your baseball career. The clear consensus of these experts is that the status quo is extremely dangerous and is likely a cause of the increase of spring training injuries.MORE: Things are not all bad at spring training. Cre sey speaks of the treatment of one of his clients, Indians aceCorey Kluber.When Corey comes to spring training, nobody tells Corey you have to do this. They say, Hey, heres what were thinking, what do you think? Whats worked in the past, what hasnt, and what do you want to do this year? They are going to listen to him giving feedback on what works for him.Perhaps this is simply a product of being the ace of one of the most forward-thinking organizations for pitching development in the league.If you look acro s baseball, that same opportunity is not afforded to a 21-year-old kid in low (Single)-A," Cre sey observed."Its like the old adage that minor leaguers get fed really poorly when theyre in low-A and they say if you dont like it, play better.The succe sful organizations are the ones that meet the pitchers where they are and let them work on whatever it is that they should work on.As for his clients, Cre sey said, We have minor league guys who we feel we prepare very well in the offseason. Some of these guys are throwing as early as Nov. 15 to really get ready and by the time they roll in that first week in March they show up and they feel like they are held back. They actually get a little bit detrained.To help mitigate this problem, Cre sey feels that his biggest role is as an educator."I tell guys you will always be your own best coach. If I can impart some wisdom to help you be your own best coach, awesome," he said. "At the end of the day it really comes down to you learning about how your body works and how to manage it. Thats where the growth really comes and thats where guys really improve,and (they) dont improve when you hand them to cookie-cutter throwing programs, cookie-cutter lifting programs, and everybody does the exact same stretch pregame."Acommon them
