one rest day before pitching or long tossing again.

PROGRESSIVE THROWING PROGRAM
Long Toss

Short & Regular Throwing


Short and regular throwing days get layered into the program
to facilitate recovery and loose throwing action.

Short days should be your lightest exertion possible,


with the feeling of just playing easy catch.

Regular days are a bit longer but not pushing past 80% Regular
of your capacity. Again, you shouldn’t have to push past
a loose arm whip to get it to your partner. Varies between
light & long toss

Long Toss
On long toss days, it’s time to air it out. Start playing easy catch and
progressively move backward with high arching throws until you reach a max
distance. Then start working back in but throwing the ball hard and on a line.

Light
Bullpens Edge of dirt
For pitchers, the 10-week throwing plan will gradually build
bullpen sessions for an arm that’s ready to start the season.

For high school-aged starting pitchers, the program will build to a final
70 pitch pen, while relievers will work up to a max of 30 pitches. For
pitchers younger than high school, the pitch count will top out at 50.

Also, no pitcher throws 50+ pitches straight during a game. The total workload
gets spread out over several innings. That’s why the bullpen sessions are broken Partner
down into smaller sets; it’s designed to simulate a game like situation. Take
a short break, grab a drink of water and begin the next set of the bullpen.
