Saw this article from I think Spy and looked it over. I don't know really how anyone else's teams are but I had 4-5 incoming high school freshmen last year with the poorest throwing mechanics I have ever seen. We worked more on throwing mechanics/fundamentals at the beginning of the year than we did hitting. (not a big problem since there was still snow on the ground).
Marc I also checked out the safe throw website and looked at there stretches. We do a dynamic warm up. Is there a dynamic way to work that same muscle group or should I include these static stretches into our mix?

I would take any suggestions about what other coaches, high school level or not do to prevent throwing from taking up too much practice time in season. We really only have two weeks of practice to get ready for the season and taking a lot of time, even necessary time, puts us in a time crunch to be ready to play.
