May 7: Live From St. Charles With Keith Levinson and Jon Ebinger
On this episode, we are recording from St. Charles Rehabilitation in Centereach, NY with the lead sports coordinators, Keith Levinson and John Ebinger. We are discussing some hot topics among Major League Baseball including the massive uptick in velocity among pitchers notably Jordan Hicks who has thrown the 20 hardest pitches this season. How are pitchers able to do that? Is it an injury waiting to happen? Despite throwing harder than ever, pitchers are throwing less fastballs. Are certain pitchers putting more strain on the arm than others? What puts pitchers at a higher risk for injury? Is long-tossing actually dangerous for a pitcher's arm? Keith discusses his time spent with the Cleveland Indians Triple-A affiliate. Why hamstring injuries are so difficult to come back from in a high school season. Do cold weather pitchers undergo fewer surgeries. John discusses the latest technological breakthroughs that have allowed pitchers to recover quicker and experience less recovery time after a long outing. We discuss that and much more!
