At ProSource Athletic Performance, we prioritize proper warm-up techniques for youth baseball players. In our latest video, Pre-Game Throwing Progressions for Youth Baseball Players, we outline a simple and effective routine to enhance throwing mechanics and prevent injuries.

Key Takeaways:

• The Importance of Warm-Ups:
  Young athletes can benefit greatly from a structured warm-up, which helps build good habits and prepares their bodies for the game.

• Kneeling Drills:
  Start with kneeling throws to focus on elbow positioning and glove mechanics. This sets a strong foundation for effective throwing.

• Progression to Staggered Stance:
  Moving into a staggered stance allows players to engage their front side and improve overall accuracy.

• Dynamic Movement with Rockers:
  Incorporating rockers into your warm-up routine adds an element of dynamic movement, enhancing coordination and strength.

• Normal Catch Play Transition:
  After the structured drills, players should transition into regular catch play, ensuring they maintain proper mechanics throughout.

• Gradual Increase in Intensity:
  Players should start throwing at a lower intensity and gradually increase effort as they warm up to maintain arm health.
