We know that teaching then monitoring proper throwing mechanics and maintaining a consistent regimen of proven arm care exercises before and after any baseball activity will always be our top priority! We understand that providing specific knowledge to our players regarding proper deceleration of the arm by rotating around the front hip is the most important skill we teach.

Risking injury by over extending pitch counts or continuing to play any player that is injured is NOT something we will ever do. Please know that when faced with these decisions we will ALWAYS error on the conservative side when it comes to player health.

Our coaches understand that the rules regarding maximum innings pitched in a tournament do not account for specific pitch counts that ultimately represent the actual workload of that pitcher. You will NEVER see a Texas Rynos pitcher throw more than 30 pitches in one inning regardless of the reason the pitch count rose to a stressful number. You will NEVER see a Texas Rynos pitcher return to the mound prior to receiving the appropriate number of days rest based on pitch count amassed in their most recent outing.

With many variables in mind like weather, progressive build up of arm strength through training, mechanical efficiency, maturity, and consistent pre and post arm care exercises taught to our players and monitored by our coaches all DICTATE where a sensible pitch count is set for each pitcher.

Through consistent individualized bullpens / flat grounds / scrimmage innings / and long toss each of our pitchers gradually gain strength and eventually reach their pitch count max.

Long term player health is at the top of our priority list. We believe that winning is really important and the expectation to win is a learned mindset that will aide future success throughout a lifetime. Please know that our desire to win youth baseball games will never be stronger than our desire to see our players remain healthy while striving to reach their potential.
