IDENTIFYING MOTOR PREFERENCES ON PLAYERS LIKE PRONATION AND SUPINATION THROUGH A DETAILED ASSESSMENT CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY☝🏽For example, people mostly talk about wrist pronation when it comes to throwing/pitching because we all pronate our wrist when we throw a baseball, however we don’t all pronate with the same range of motion or with the same effort🤷🏻‍♂️ Everyones wrists also pronates/supinates when swinging a bat, but again not the same range of motion across the board. So how can it reduce the risk of injuries by identifying it🤔As coaches if we take the time to identify it and we know a certain pitcher prefers to be in supination rather than pronation, we wouldn’t be asking him to throw a high volume of change ups. Thats not saying he can’t throw a change up for a strike if he prefers to supinate, its just saying it will require more brain power and focus to throw a change up👌🏽 As a coach when we see a pitcher in that profile we can easily shift gears and accomplish the same goal by teaching him a splitter instead without forcing him to move out of profile with a change up. Because he prefers to be in supination… throwing a higher volume of sliders won’t be as physically or mentally demanding🤘🏽 Here’s Pittsburgh Pirates Outfielder🏌️‍♂️ and MY GUYY🤩 p_lo_ identifying more of his preferences this off-season in order to max out on his own optimal balance and coordination while learning more about his movement profile to avoid any unnecessary injuries😎🏊🏽‍♂️💦⚾️📈 mattswope19 aka_witchdoctor marylandmade_hitting money beeps 💵: ronniebernick #baseball #mlb #big #league #seeds #pittsburgh #pirates #motor #preference #reduce #injury #risk #compete #havefun #respect #thegame #myguy #staypositive #workhard #beyourself #baseballislife #myguy
