ABSTRACT:
A method for training and warming-up baseball pitchers, using an apparatus comprising a closed loop of stretchable cord having a baseball or a simulated baseball mounted thereon. In accordance with one aspect of the method, the cord is secured to an anchor point spaced above the ground, and the pitcher slowly performs a simulated pitching movement while standing with his back to the anchor point and at a distance therefrom determined by the desired tension in the cord. In accordance with another aspect of the method, the pitching motion is performed without turning the pitching arm and wrist, and it is ascertained whether turning has occurred by sensing whether or not the upper fingers of the gripping hand of the pitcher engage portions of the cord at the baseball.
