The Truth About Pitch Counts: Are You Risking Your Arm?
Traditional pitch counts are outdated. They treat every player the same—ignoring players arm strength, fatiguability and how well they recover. That’s a recipe for injury.
Individualized Pitch Counts change the game. Instead of guessing, we use real data to set daily limits based on your arm’s condition. Strength, fatigue, recovery—it all matters.

Arm speed is arm stress. The velocity that continues to trend upward is a massive reason the injuries continue to grow, but with any stressful action, there are ways you can shield & disperse stress away from stabilizing tissues.
It’s hard to change the tire on a moving vehicle though, so often times managing throwing workloads to coincide with proper training techniques in the weight room are what’s necessary to build up the arm strength necessary to stress shield.
Asking an athlete to go through countless rotator cuff, posterior shoulder, serratus anterior, flexor pronator work, etc as part of a solid “arm care” routine, yet not considering the accumulative stress done by throwing workloads is asking the athlete to train WITH fatigue rather than away from it. This will only lead to further injury. The guys at ArmCare have this absolutely right. I don’t see how anyone programs without the information they can provide.

100 mph is no longer rare. Unfortunately, arm injuries aren’t either.
After watching this outstanding video by Joon Lee and Adam Ottavino on the rise of 100 mph pitchers, the message felt clear: velocity keeps climbing, injuries keep climbing...and there may be no real solution to the arm injury epidemic.
I disagree. The solution is here. The challenge is having the discipline to listen.
Here’s what makes this so difficult...ArmCare tests a pitcher’s arm before they throw and compares that data to their normal baseline.
If arm strength is down 8 lbs, if fatigue is showing up, if imbalances show up, if recovery is off...the app doesn’t just show the data. It flags it and may tell that pitcher: do not pitch today.
And I get it...it’s a big game. Your ace is on the mound. You run the test, see the alert, question it, test again...same result. The arm is fatigued.
Now the coach has a decision to make. Listen to the arm...or roll the dice.
Research has shown pitching while fatigued is the #1 risk factor for injury, making a pitcher 36x more likely to get hurt...not 36%, 36 times.
That’s the uncomfortable truth. Most major arm injuries aren’t coming out of nowhere. The warning signs were there. The data was there. The arm was talking.
And here’s what’s often missed...fatigued arms usually don’t perform their best anyway. Command is often the first thing to go. More missed spots. More stressful pitches. More fatigue. More risk.
The hardest part in baseball isn’t collecting the data. It’s having the courage to trust it when the game is on the line.

We actually agree with much of what’s being said here. @shegone03 @MagnoliaToomer @UnfetteredDad
8-year-olds should be having fun, learning the game, and not chasing velocity.
This post from our Instagram got some hate after being reposted by @shegone03 on X without the full context.
To be clear, we never said these were “benchmarks” kids need to chase.
The point of the post was actually the opposite.
The data comes from a 2009 paper by Axe et al. focused on protecting young throwing arms. The authors specifically noted that young athletes throwing significantly harder and farther than their peers may require more conservative workload management because of the increased stress placed on growing tissues.
In other words:
Higher velocity = higher stress = greater need for monitoring, recovery, strength, and smart workload management.
Please read the original post on our Instagram before drawing conclusions.
And we’ll say it again...
“The goal isn’t to be the hardest thrower at 10 years old...it’s to still be throwing hard 10 years later.”

This is what a rehab throwing plan is supposed to look like. Fresh exams on our high intent days, we’re throwing regularly (6x/week), monitoring intent using the radar gun. There is no magic nor guessing behind it. Using the @jaegersports @RandySullivanPT return to throw protocols, in conjunction with @TreadAthletics velocity/percent intent table & the @ArmCarecom platform for freshness & fatigue monitoring. Targeted strength gain in the right areas & building up the engine to support the stress. It takes a team to do it right, pretty lucky we have access to such great information from a number of outlets! #StrengthMattersMost

Velocity without durability is a dead end.
On the More Than Velocity podcast, @scotthaase14 (Healthy Velo) shares how to build arm speed through durability, data, and daily habits — not radar gun chasing.
Health → development → performance.

The newest #StrengthInNumbers blog from @ArmCarecom is all about having a growth mindset. We preach this a lot to our athletes, especially in the off-season, about being willing to try new things. To explore, fail, learn, and get a little bit better everyday on this development journey; but are we as coaches doing the same thing? Are we taking pride in continuing education & striving to be the most knowledgeable that we can be? Or because we had the skill, automatically we must know exactly how to get every individual to replicate what we did? I’d call that a complacent, fixed mindset. Asking an athlete to have a growth mindset while we sit back & rest on our prior knowledge is pretty hypocritical. Luckily, ArmCare offers a lot of educational opportunities that are all shown in this blog! Take a look & don’t be afraid to challenge yourself to get a little bit better today! #StrengthMattersMost blog.armcare.com/what-separa…

I was working the FAQ for the ArmCare Coaches webpage and thought this would be good to share.
How is ArmCare’s individualized training different from other arm care programs?
ArmCare is the only platform that builds training from actual strength testing.
Most programs that claim to be individualized aren’t testing strength at all—so they’re guessing.
The ArmCare app measures your arm’s strength, fatigue, asymmetries, and recovery, then automatically adjusts your training based on what your arm needs that day.
Here’s the key difference:
Weak muscles need more training volume to get stronger
Fatigued muscles need less volume to recover
If you train hard when the arm is fatigued, you toast it—performance drops and injury risk skyrockets.
If you undertrain a weak arm, it never gets stronger.
Programs that don’t strength test simply can’t make this distinction.
Individualization without strength testing isn’t individualization—it’s guessing.
