I was invited by a trainer to mingle on the field for warmups for a cardinals v Mets spring season game a few years ago. You had a variety of shapes and sizes of players but for each position, there was a universal motor pattern of movement, esp throwing. Some slight stylistic differences were there but any large deviation from the UMP led to visibly less effective results. This is an excellent video, thanks for taking me back to that day and better times, Matt.
Matt, I'm coaching a rec league prep team and i watch your vids all the time and share them with the boys. Would you suggest having pitchers change their arm action when playing short or catcher for example. Thx.
@@AntonelliBaseball Thank you, Matt. It's a little surreal to have a channel by someone who reached the pinnacle of the sport, sharing all this knowledge. I don't play anymore, but I watch it nonetheless because it's great content.
I missed the Mahomes video... but it's awesome to see that guy throw.. arm slot thr same whether he is parallel to the ground or standing... so many different throwing angles from same arm slot. Dude is awesomely gifted. Has some hyper mobility in his joints.
Hey, Matt. I’m curious to know what you’re approach is to arm action when you’re working with your players that play both infield and outfield. Do you teach them to adjust their arm action depending on the position they are playing? I remember several years ago when Ian Desmond made the move to centerfield it seemed like he retained his short arm motion.
Hey Matt..I'm no expert by any means but I think you should also add that regardless of playing position and how large or small the arm circle when you start the motion forward you should create a less than 90deg angle between the upper and lower arm, "bring the ball to your ear"..I believe this creates more whip and more importantly less stress on the shoulder. I think you see this with Adames and Bellinger...thanks
Nice but you didn’t mention how far behind the arm/ball goes and what the glove hand is doing which is particularly crucial in outfield or pitching for shoulder rotation

The ball above water analogy is great! Never heard it before. But it makes sense
Thanks!!

I really liked how you split the screen with a righty and lefty. Excelsior!

Hey Matt can you do a video on how to fix rolling your back foot when swinging.
Sure thing!
This channel is underrated.
Thanks!

@@Ladran_Sancho thank you for watching I appreciate it!

Thanks Matt! I’ve been struggling with my throwing motion I appreciate this vid
Happy to help!
I like this video alot, it really shows the arm actions well.

great production quality

I thought of Alvies from the Braves when you posted this. He has a long arm action for being a 2b
this is really helpful cuz im having throwing problems thanks

Hey Matt hope all is well with you and yours, love your channel
Thanks
Yeah this video taught me a lot too.
Hey matt how does playing in a major league stadium affect your sight when fielding? is it more difficult?
I feel like I’ve caught myself adjusting this moving from 2B to SS 3B
which arm circle is better for your arm health in your opinion
Cool I'll Need That
Very interesting! 👍🏼
Does it matter if arm turns slightly after throwing? Hand turns either slightly right or left?
Good video!😊
Thanks! 😊
What up Matt... do you offer any camps by you?
Nice but you didn’t mention how far behind the arm/ball goes and what the glove hand is doing which is particularly crucial in outfield or pitching for shoulder rotation
Good video but can you make a video with correct arm throwing position while making a play.
lefty and a right though, changes everything
Joey Wendle. Greatest Nashville Sounds player ever. Number unofficially retired.
U should be an mlb coach
Pitcher arm go weeeeeeeee
Second
This is quite different than little league standard
Why show their warmup throws? They are not fully mechanical committed to the throw. Geeze!
