@iTheLightofDawn Exactly, no need to kill the arm. Long tossing before a game, you just want to to get a feel of explosion and a carry on the ball within your mechanics. Notice he never left his stretch motion, never crow hopped or crossed over to get extra.
maybe they're not overdoing it cuz they have to grind out 200+ innings a season as a starter they long toss on off days im sure this is right before a start figure it out
pitchers arent suppose to long toss like that, especially on this level, they have to be very cautious of there arm, its there baby, you got to take care of it, trust me i know i play for san diego state
....your stupid .. lol your making a comment on Cliff Lee on warming up! are you up there gettin to warm up like you think is right ..? NO.. lol so dont make stupid comments
You guys are retarded. That was not him long tossing. That was just him loosening up before a start. If he was long tossing to build arm strength, he would have been playing catch foul pole to foul pole.
@lol4481 because the standard longtoss for majority D1 schools, minor leagues, and majors is 120 ft. coaches are terrified their pitchers will get hurt if they go out to 300+...and it looks like lee is out to 120 ( 40 yards )... that is pampering my friend..check out jaeger sports
@HokiePokie33 maybe you don't have to throw 300-330 feet to get certain work done. There is video of Nolan Ryan telling pitchers from the Texas Rangers how he went about his Long Toss and he only went as far as he could throwing on a straight line. Once he started coming up to his target he would then start coming back in, didn't treat it as a distance contest.
@HokiePokie33 lol pampered? He chooses to throw that distance for warmups. Barry zito does legit long toss for warmups because of the Jaeger program. Cliff lee just does this length because he wants to.
@HokiePokie33 yeah but not everyone needs 300 ft of long toss, it depends on the person really, he might do 350 ft on an off day and keep it low on a pitching day, keep that in mind before saying they are pampered and if 120 works for him why should he go further
these guys throw over 200 innings a year SO GET OVER IT. theyre getting paid to perform and hes on a rehab assignment. so i dont think hes gonna be throwing 330 feet
@HokiePokie33 Thats true but i wouldnt say cliff lee is pampered he works his ass off... this might just be his pre-game ritual... some guys like to long toss pre-game some don't... I guess you'd have to ask him :P
I hope, for their sake, that was a bullpen catcher and not an actual player.

@iTheLightofDawn just to stretch out, plus we also have to keep in mind that he may have already been long tossing before this video.
