ARM HEALTH CREATES POWER PITCHER CAMP
Every year, Major League Baseball spends more than $1.5 billion on pitchers, which is five times the salary of all NFL quarterbacks combined. Pitchers are the lifeblood of baseball, but today they face an epidemic unlike any other, as arm injuries pile up at a historical rate.
This two-day instructional camp provides high school pitchers an opportunity to learn not only how to strengthen and condition their arm, but an understanding of how to create a winning edge on the mound. Coming off a WAC Championship in 2016, Coach Cribby and the Redhawk Pitching Staff have led the WAC in wins, strikeouts, and rank in the Top 50 of NCAA Division 1 Baseball in numerous statistical pitching categories over the past two seasons, including back-to-back Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American pitchers.
