💡 Beginner’s Guide (Baseball Terms Explained)
Forearm strengthening: Target exercises designed to rebuild stability in the arm muscles after a strain before transitioning back to full throwing mechanics.
Facing hitters: A crucial step in a pitcher’s recovery. Instead of just throwing to a catcher, the pitcher throws to active batters in practice to simulate real game situations.
Two innings thrown: An inning is a segment of the game. Simulating “two innings” means the pitcher threw a longer, higher-volume session to build back game-level stamina.
