Throwing drills often address many things in throwing but rarely do they effectively train athletes to stay closed during the throw. Understanding of what needs to happen to stay closed is often the determining factor. The old method of simply telling an athlete to "stay closed" or not to fly open or to open up later in the throw is nearly always ineffective. This is because the throw is complex and occurs in roughly a second so it is often difficult to change one variable of the throw. Combine this with athletes not understanding what really is necessary to stay closed and the likelihood that a thrower will actually stay closed longer and perform other variables of the throwing motion correctly is slim. We have a vast number of techniques, including many facilitation and inhibition techniques, that we utilize to teach an athlete how to stay closed. These two drills which utilize prepositioning and force an athlete's chain reaction into throwing arm side rotation early in the throw have proven to be effective even in the throwers who seem to fly open regardless of the cuing given to them while throwing. - Sport
Thank you. This is very helpful.
so helpful, thank you
Makes so much sense. High quality content. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Good stuff man. Help out my young guys big time.
This is awesome! You're pulling together a lot of concepts that I've had to piece together. The hardest part for me is seeing the entire kinetic chain, I study a couple motions, and it's really tough to put it all together.
It definitely can be. Training the eyes is most important!
Really great thanks for sharing
Absolutely
Do you have a preferred camera angle for doing pitching video analysis? An overhead diagram would be helpful so the position can be easily set up and repeated over time.
I do have some preferred camera angles but always use a multiplicity of camera angle to get a three dimension evaluation of how an athlete is moving and slow motion camera is 2D. If I were to choose the most beneficial two camera angles it would be directly behind or a 45 degree anterior view so first base dugout view for a lefty and third base dugout view for a righty. Ultimately, the most important component is evaluating what is happening in the video and how to improve it.
You are a life saver.
Thanks Ted!
Brother listen to me!! This video will for sure save my sons shoulder as he continues his baseball journey.

I follow two other kinesiologist that says moving the ball that far in is very dangerous for the elbow tendon. I tried this with my son and he immediately had pain. Is he doing something wrong? Will you comment about the ball being so close to your head during rotation?
I can’t speak to what your son did, however, as someone with a doctorate degree in physical therapy who has spent hundreds of hours, studying shoulder and elbow mechanics, as well as working with hundreds of injured athletes, I will tell you that flexing the elbow inside 90° during the cocking phases of the throw puts the elbow in the most advantageous position to resist stress and mitigate injury. It also allows for greater rotational speed.
Do you think that the content from your channel which is baseball based could be used for handball players? Both include throwing the ball so that is where I'm coming from
I want to help out my sister who plays handball but wants to be better
Yes 100%!!!
Now my throwing mechanics are fixed (i think)
There isn't any pain soo it must've worked
I'm glad to hear that keep working hard

0:53 EXACT SAME MECHANICS i have
Keep working hard!
Why are you pushing the ball and pushing with your elbow? The arm should spiral out and around your body so it can used like a whip. Not good vice on this video.
I was wondering that, too. I'm trying to break my son's habit of "pushing" the ball and having an acute arm angle... He throws just like this...
@@destinymalone1095 Most of the time the problem isn't staying closed. The problem is, they're throwing BEFORE the front foot lands which causes you to open. Basically they're throwing off of one foot (other in the air) and stomping into the throw. You need to realize that the force you apply into the front leg is being shot back up into your body ( like a jump). But kids who "open" early don't do it because they're not letting they're front leg land FIRST, so there's no force being shot back into the body and arm.
Thanks for commenting. It seems you have missed the point of the video. The arm can only utilize tangential acceleration if proper timing of torso rotation and elbow flexion occur. No part of this video advises pushing the ball as the opposite occurs during throwing at high velocities.
Destiny, you should avoid attempting to break the habit of an acute arm angle (as a more flexed elbow during peak stress allows you to reduce stress on the shoulder and on the stabilizing ligaments of the elbow, such as the ulnar collateral ligament)I have a few videos on how to stop pushing the ball which I have linked below for your review:

@@OverheadAthletics In the video you clearly have a pushing action in place which is not good throwing mechanics. You don't need to come out and say to push but you clearly are pushing excessively that a blind person can see.
