In this episode, injuries suffered by Masahiro Tanaka, Doug Fister, Chase Whitley, Shane Greene, Jonathon Niese, and Stephen Strasburg. Topics include: What is an elbow flexor strain, and what should a pitcher do if he is suffering from that injury, and what can pitchers do to prevent it? What should a pitcher do when experiencing soreness in the arm? What does it mean when a pitcher has "tingling" in his fingers? What is "ulnar neuritis" and how is that kind of injury treated? What is the importance of the front/landing foot in the pitching motion and what can happen if a pitcher -- like Strasburg -- has weakness in it? Also, Angel tackles several myths about pitching, including: should pitchers run after pitching to reduce lactic acid? Can a pitcher safely pitch twice in one day? Can pitchers also be catchers? Should pitchers use a softball to practice the curveball? and other bad advice facing pitchers and coaches starting summer ball. Finally, Angel provides a velocity tip that is easy to accomplish for every pitcher at every level. 01:04:00On Baseballnopitching,baseball,baseball pitchers,baseball pitching,uclESPN Sweet Spot blogger Joe Janish and baseball pitching motion expert Angel Borrelli discuss MLB pitchers' injuries and provide injury prevention guidance andhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/05/11/the-fix-season-2-episode-12Baseballhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/05/11/the-fix-season-2-episode-12/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/05/11/the-fix-season-2-episode-12Mon, 11 May 2015 16:36:09 GMTThe Fix Season 2 Episode 12ESPN Sweet Spot blogger Joe Janish talks with baseball pitching motion expert Angel Borrelli.

Second, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Smyly's shoulder injury -- Angel goes into detail to explain a labrum tear and how the role of the labrum and shoulder in the pitching motion. Finally, Angel offeres two baseball pitching velocity tips; the first involving the wrist, the second focused on the importance of the glove arm and how it controls rotation.

In this episode, Joe and Angel interview Dr. Glenn Fleisig, Research Director for American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI). Among the topics covered include Major League Baseball's willingness to accept science in general and biomechanical analysis in particular; how quantitative and qualitative analysis work together to correct flaws in the pitching motion; and how science can prevent pitching injuries. Dr. Fleisig explains the process of evaluating and applying mechanical adjustments. Finally, Dr. Fleisig answers hot-button questions such as: 1) can mechanical adjustments enhance performance; 2) what is keeping pitchers from making necessary changes; 3) how can pitchers avoid second -- or third -- Tommy John surgeries; 4) are pitching injuries inevitable.

Additionally, Joe and Angel further investigate Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander's triceps injury, with Angel discussing pitching in pain and explaining the process and systems of getting injured pitchers from shutdown mode back to the mound.  Finally, Angel provides a high-level velocity tip, which includes reference to an image that can be found at OnBaseball.com. 00:45:00On Baseballnobaseball,baseball pitching,detroit tigers,mlb,tigersAs The Fix podcast closes in on 5,000 all-time listens, Angel and Joe go back to the very firsttwo episodes, which focused on Angel doing detective work to diaghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/03/28/the-fix-season-2-episode-6Baseballhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/03/28/the-fix-season-2-episode-6/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/onbaseball/2015/03/28/the-fix-season-2-episode-6Sat, 28 Mar 2015 15:00:00 GMTThe Fix Season 2 Episode 6Baseball pitching motion expert Angel Borrelli and Joe Janish discuss in detail Justin Verlander's triceps cramp, why it happened, his risk of continuing to pitch with it, how the issue can be fixed, and what pitchers should do if they suffer similar symptoms. In doing so, Angel explains the scientific process of diagnosing and fixing pitching mechanics. Also, Angel uses Masahiro Tanaka's minor UCL tear as an example of what can happen when pitchers pitch through major injuries. Additionally, Angel answers a question from a listener regarding whether weighted balls and weighted ball programs are worthwhile for improving pitching performance.

Also, they discuss Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee's decision to pitch through a torn flexor. They also follow up on Episode 3 subjects Yu Darvish, who is undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Gavin Floyd, who has re-fractured his olecranon. Joe and Angel also re-visit the velocity-robbing flaw of "sinking," comparing to "drop-and-drive," providing information that may be surprising to fans of Tom Seaver. On a positive note, they highlight Washington Nationals pitcher Matt Thornton, who is still throwing 95+ MPH at the age of 38 -- how does he maintain that velocity at that age?

The show begins with discussion of Tyler Skaggs' decision to walk off the mound while in the middle of pitching a no-hitter. That leads into an explanation of a "pronator mass strain," which was Skaggs' initial diagnosis as well as the injury suffered by Cliff Lee. Angel then describes some signs that a pitcher may be fatigued and/or about to injure himself; and what a coach shoud do in such a situation. Further, Angel explains how a pitcher should be brought back from such an injury. The show closes with Joe and Angel talking about the theory that MLB pitchers will inevitably suffer decreased performance once they reach age 30 -- including recommendations by Angel that can result in pitchers maintaining or increasing their performance as they age.  00:37:00On BaseballnoPitching,pitching mechanics,mlb,baseball pitching,baseball pitchersPitching motion expert Angel Borrelli and baseball blogger Joe Janish talk about pitching mechanics.
