Proper Arm Path Mechanics: Avoid the Mistakes That Lead to Injuries ⚾💪

Getting your arm path right is critical for both velocity and arm health. Let’s break down the common mistakes and the correct mechanics:

❌ Pushing the Elbow Forward:
• The elbow pushes ahead of the shoulder, putting excessive stress on the UCL.
• This is a recipe for elbow injuries, including Tommy John surgery.

❌ Dragging the Elbow Back:
• The elbow lags too far behind the scap, overloading the front of the shoulder.
• This can lead to SLAP tears and other shoulder injuries.

✅ Proper Arm Path (✔):
• The elbow and shoulder stay in sync as the trunk rotates.
• The arm smoothly rotates back into layback, optimizing energy transfer and reducing stress on the joints.

Mastering this arm path keeps you throwing hard while protecting your arm for the long haul. 🚀
