by Andy Smith It has not been a memorable start to the season for the local Division-I programs although it certainly was a great week for a couple of the Division-II and III schools.

Here’s how it went down… St. John’s WE HAVE THE LEAD! Paul Orbon does it AGAIN!! pic.twitter.com/SQKmcyB2g0 — St. John’s Baseball (@StJohnsBaseball) February 25, 2023 The Johnnies overcame a late 5-3 deficit on the road at Tulane and came away with an impressive 6-5 comeback.

Prepare to Play Ball
by Bryce Tolmie ATC, CSCS & Lewis Lupowitz, PT, DPT, CSCS With baseball season just around the corner we as clinicians are starting to see a rise in arm injuries. Why? While there are many reasons that arm injuries arise in the youth athlete, the most common is due to overuse. This overuse can contribute to the alarming rate of Tommy John surgery in the 15-19 year-old age group that is increasing at an average of 6% a year (Romeo AJSM 2015) and has increased 193% in New York State over the last 10 years (Ahmad AJSM 2016). So, as we approach the season, let’s recap on what other factors as parents and coaches you can look for to decrease the chances of arm injuries. The number one factor of increasing the risk of injuries in high school and college pitchers is pitching with fatigu...

The Importance of an In-Season Training Program
Lewis Lupowitz, PT, DPT, CSCS: Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group Its finally here! Baseball season has begun. Athletes have spent all off-season preparing their bodies, arms, and minds for the big day. Yet once the season starts this all seems to be forgotten, but why? To lift or not to lift. This is something I am asked constantly by my athletes during the season. Many think that performing an in-season training program will stiffen up their arm, decrease their velocity, and limit their endurance as the season progresses. I am here to debunk all these myths and explain the importance of an appropriate in-season arm care program as per evidence-based research. Additionally, I will provide a link to an exercise program that’s proven to mitigate injury risk and increase performance. In 20...

by Mike Anderson Week 4 is among us in the 2022 NCAA Baseball season, and the local teams were back at it again Friday night. Let’s go around the horn and see how they did. Division I: LIU beat Fordham, 9-4, where the two teams combined for 26 hits. It was such an offensive game that 17 of the 18 starters between the two lineups recorded at least one hit. All of LIU’s starters hit safely, while eight of nine Fordham starters hit safely. Second baseman Jack Harnisch led off the game with a home run for Fordham, but that lead was lost in the top of the third when shortstop EJ Exposito crushed a three-run homer to left field. LIU took a 3-1 lead, and only added to it later. An RBI single in the bottom of the third made it just 3-2, but LIU scratched across three more in the fourth and two mo...
Risk Factors for Youth Overhead Athletes
by Lewis Lupowitz, PT, DPT, CSCS: Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group It’s that time of year, baseball is in the air. Players, parents, and coaches are all eager for the warmer weather, “pop” of the ball into a glove and “crack” of the bat. This is a critical time for everyone as they prepare for the start of a new season. As a sports-physical therapist specializing in the care of overhead athletes I believe it is most important to educate the masses on what it takes to get ready for the season and stay healthy throughout. The Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group has partnered with Prospect Performance Factory and recently performed pre-season screens for players. This allowed us to catch any glaring issues prior to the season getting underway and will also help us have a reference for ind...
