Fixing Arm Problems
With the start of spring training and my pirates gearing up for another unsuccesful season, i have been following what the new management is doing to protect there young pitchers arms. Any pirate fan knows the problem with pitchers the pirates often have had with three top picks having tommy john surgery. So this year all pirates pro and minor league will eventually go to alabama to a facility where the leading doctor for tommy john has created. All the pirates will throw while attached to electronic devices that will show them on a computer. The facility will be able to pin point any flaws in there mechanics and will look to show where the most stress is on the pitchers arms to hopefully prevent any more arm injuries. I hope it helps because if the pirates ever plan to contend they have to keep there young arms healthy.

That's really cool! I didn't know they were going to do that. That's really cool how they will be able to tell where the most stress is on the arm. That's really good for all athletes to aviod unnecessary injury. I hope the Pirates do well this year! I LOVE going to Pirates games, but it's so much better when they win!
