Help with elbow/arm slot
My 14yr old/ 6’3 guy is struggling with his arm/shoulder/scapula this year. We’ve been to physio, he’s been doing a lot of bands/ball work and some weights (as prescribed by physio), I’m trying to get him to do pull ups every day.
My biggest concern which I suspect is causing his issues (which is currently pain under his scap, along with command issues) is the height of his elbow at layback.
We have some obvious issues with shoulder tilt and front elbow height on his drive, but what is really concerning is the way his elbow goes to the sky the moment he starts his upper body rotation.
I’ve tried everything I can think of, and I haven’t been able to find a solution for him.
So, pitching coaches - what drills and teaches can you suggest to get that elbow into a safer, more level location with more of a 90 degree elbow at layback? Or am I missing the point completely?
Just want the kid to be healthy, confident and having fun, not looking for him to throw 75 yet.
