Arm management for pitchers gets a lot of discussion for obvious reasons but do any of you consciously manage the arm usage of position players? Is there a point where too much throwing can negatively impact them. I know some high school teams practice 4-5 times a week and then some of those girls are also doing some travel ball activities on the side as well.
Do you intentionally schedule practices with no throwing to give arms rest? Do you consciously monitor how much girls are throwing overhand in a short period. Most of these girls won’t complain until they have an injury and will just keep throwing. Just curious how some of you approached managing overhand reps, especially for girls that also pitch.
