How to get “hot” to throw hard: The best baseball warm up you’ll ever do
Learn the secrets to warming up like the pro’s and get better, faster
One of the most common sayings a pitcher hears from his manager is “get hot”. But what does that really mean and how do you do it?
A great warm up should:
- Address areas of weakness/improvement
- Create sufficient mobility for the task ahead to reduce the risk of injury
- Progressively excite the nervous system for the demands of the task
In the case of throwing hard, it’s powerful and explosive-so should your warm up end up being.
Here’s a sequence we recommend you try and that all players in our rotational power programs complete before throwing:
Does your warm up make you sweat?
Does it allow you precious time to improve areas that may be holding you back?
