CSP Elite Baseball Development Podcast – July 2023 Q&A: Swimming for PItchers, Sports Hernias, and Overtraining
Written on July 28, 2023 at 4:06 am, by Eric Cressey
It’s time for another listener Q&A, so I cover three questions from our audience in this week’s podcast:
- What do you think about swimming between starts for pitchers?
- One of my players was recently told he needed core muscle surgery. It seems like a broad term. Can you please enlighten me on what this is and what we could have done to prevent it? And why does it happen in baseball players?
- I have a pitcher whose velocity is down. His delivery doesn’t look off, and he hasn’t lost weight. He’s a real go-getter, so I honestly think he might be overtrained. What do you do in these situations?
