The Injury Zone
Josh keeps pumping out the great work:
...total movement is actually more important than speed.
I’d think not only as a predictor of injuries, but of fatigue as well. My guess is that the pitcher, knowing he doesn’t have as much bite on his pitches, will “reach back” for a little extra. He gets the speed where he wants, but not the movement.
