Baseball Pitching: The Fix

Can a pitcher succeed both as a starter and a reliever? In the "Lessons from the MLB" segment, Joe and Angel discuss the differences between starters and closers, as well as the important details that a coach should remember when deciding to use a pitcher in both roles. In "The Teaching Moment," Angel provides a seven-exercise complete workout for the forearms, wrists and fingers that strengthen the muscles needed to keep the pitcher's elbow safe and help prevent UCL injuries. And, she calls on all pitchers to make the month of August the month when they get serious about getting the forearms big and strong to offset the high risk they have for injury to the elbow. Finally, in "The Ninth Inning," Angel explains why using radar guns in bullpens may not be a good idea.  Link to Angel's book on strengthening the elbow: http://bit.ly/elbowbook Angel's website: http://gymscience.com
