What role does the bicep muscle play in pitching? DD (1st year 16U) has been working on her speed with her pitching coach this fall. She pitched in 3 games yesterday (1 complete game, 2 relief efforts.. spread out over a 12 hour marathon day). By the end of the 3rd game she was saying her bicep was sore and cramping so she stopped pitching for the day. She never had this happen before so I was wondering if in her attempt to throw harder (which she was) she was doing something wrong and bringing in the bicep muscle. Or do we just need to work on strengthening up that muscle.
This morning her arm feels fine and there is no pain. It was a cool day so I didn't see her drinking much water all day, so it is possible she got dehydrated and it was just a cramp.
Any thoughts?
