One of the simplest ways to help your durability as a baseball player is to regularly have your shoulder measured
Measuring total range of motion of the shoulder, both external rotation and internal rotation, can help to inform not just an athletes training, but their throwing program
For example, we know from the data that the ideal difference in internal rotation of the throwing shoulder, versus the non throwing shoulder, is 12-17 degrees
Players that maintained a 12-17 degree gap, stayed healthy
However, those who exceeded that range-even by just a few degrees-had a much higher incidence of injury
Baseball injury rates have continued to skyrocket
But with the injury rate increasing has also come better knowledge and data about what steps can be taken to keep a healthy arm; and then it comes down to implementing the information correctly into your program
