Scapular Control for Throwing
Scapular control for throwing keeps the shoulder blade stable through the motion—low-fatigue drills that support command and reduce impingement-style stress late in games.
Scapular control for throwing trains upward rotation, retraction, and depression so the humeral head centers during cocking and follow-through—serratus punches, wall slides, rows, and lower-trap raises at low fatigue cost. Lost scap control shows as pinching, dropped elbow, or command scatter late in outings.
Program two to four drills per arm-care session.
Common questions
-
Which scapular drill should throwers start with?
Wall slides and serratus punches teach upward rotation without heavy load—master those before adding high-rep rows that fatigue the arm the day before a start.
