New RPM™Pitching Forums Are Now Open!
Click Here To Visit & Register
Effective
March 4, 2008 the RPM™Pitching Forums are up and running. These
community discussion boards will provide a wealth of information on the
topics of pitching, pitching injuries, baseball specific training &
conditioning, and much more. In addition, when you post video of your
pitching or throwing, our pros will give you personal feedback and
helpful suggestions. This is the next best thing to working one on one
with our coaches!
For
a few dollars a month (much less than the cost of a pitching lesson)
you will receive personal help from coaches who have years of
specialized experience. And it's a great place to meet with others who
live for baseball and pitching. Our goal is to make RPM™Pitching Forums
a safe haven for you to explore the best game in the world. We invite
you to join our exclusive community today!

Injury to the throwing arm: Dr. Joel Adams
In 1964, dating to the nationwide genesis of organized youth baseball, Dr. Joel Adams of California undertook the first meaningful study of throwing injuries. One hundred percent of pitchers in his study, ages 9-14, had some form of structural deformity or damage attributed to pitching. On top of that, over 25% of the youngsters who were position players only had the same types of injuries. Forty years later it seems we're still not really listening.

Young Pitchers Are Not Little Adults

However, teaching young men that they have to keep going in the face of unnecessary pain is the poorest of lessons.Read more.............................................................................................................

Their ideas had not been tested and they had not been proved out over the long haul. In summary of revolutionary ideas and ideals they wrote, "we hold these truths to be self evident." The concept of self evident truth applies to baseball as we know it and I want to remind you of what we hold true about baseball pitching.Read more...........
