Excessive Lateral Trunk Tilt - Risk, Identification, and Correction
from Baseball Pitching: The Fix Hosted by Joe Janish and Angel Borrelli
To kick off the show in MLB News and Trends, Angel and Joe discuss Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel, whose command has been "unKimbrel-like" this season and who recently went on the injured list with an elbow inflammation. Angel explains the connection between an elbow injury and command issues, and what next steps should be for the injured pitcher. In the Teaching Moment, Angel explains the danger of excessive lateral trunk tilt -- what it is, the risks, how to identify it, what to do about it. Finally, in the "Pearls," Angel offers exercises to do in the gym that help prevent shoulder injuries. Triceps Exercises To Help Prevent Shoulder Injuries 1. Decline Skull Crushers (On Decline Bench, with E-Z Curl Bar) 2. Overhead Dumbbell Extension (in Angel's Elbow book and First Pitch Strike Program) 3. Rope Pushdown (with cable) 4.
