In this revolutionary analysis of pitching injuries and how to prevent them, Baseball Prospectus's Will Carroll addresses all aspects of pitcher injuries, workload, mechanics, abuse, and, most important, injury prevention. His book is based on the research of Dr. Tom House, famous pitching coach for Nolan Ryan and others, and Dr. James Andrews, the preeminent orthopedic surgeon in baseball. He also draws on exclusive access to data from proprietary research by the Boston Red Sox, the Oakland A's, the Cleveland Indians, and other major league clubs. Information from doctors, trainers, coaches, pitchers, biomechanical experts, and researchers make this the first complete book on pitcher health-essential reading for pitchers, parents, and baseball fans everywhere.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The most dangerous thing in baseball is a pitcher with potential. More than half of all starting pitchers will end up on the Disabled List and over the last three seasons, more than two hundred pitchers at all levels of professional baseball have undergone ligament replacement surgery that has cost them more than a year of an already finite resource, their baseball career. Teams are losing on the field because of an inability to keep their own pitchers healthy. Teams are losing on their ledgers as they pay out ever increasing salaries to pitchers that are unable to perform and overpaying those pitchers that do somehow remain healthy. In baseball, there is a new orthodoxy that there is no such thing as a pitching prospect. Too many young flamethrowers simply burn out, then fade away, their potential never reached and their team never seeing any gain from their sizeable investments of time and money. Can young arms be saved from the torture and abuse subjected on them by the lords of baseball? The answer is yes. We are losing pitchers far too young, far too early, and it can be prevented. Saving the Pitcher addresses all aspects of pitcher injuries, pitcher abuse, pitcher workload, pitcher mechanics, and most importantly, injury prevention. Knowledge from doctors, trainers, coaches, pitchers, biomechanists, and researchers make this book the first complete look at pitcher health. These injuries don't have to happen. From major leaguers to little leaguers, this book is a must read for pitchers, parents, and baseball fans everywhere. Codice articolo CIN1566637287VG
