Pitcher Recovery During the Season
Effective recovery is essential for maintaining arm health and performance throughout the season. After outings, pitchers should focus on active recovery—light cardio, mobility work, and shoulder stabilization exercises—to promote blood flow and reduce soreness. Proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and consistent sleep are key for muscle repair and energy restoration. Post-throw routines such as icing (if needed), band work, and soft tissue therapy help manage inflammation and maintain range of motion. Regular monitoring of workload and rest days ensures the arm stays fresh and ready for peak performance each start.
