Identifying ER vs IR Dominance in Pitchers

Physiology plays a major role in lower half pitching mechanics, and a movement assessment may only truly tell half the story when designing a throwing progression.

In this breakdown, we not only define what IR (Internal Rotation) and ER (External Rotation) Dominance is, but provide the framework to connect the dots between a comprehensive movement assessment and what is happening on the mound.
