The Importance of an In-Season Training Program
Lewis Lupowitz, PT, DPT, CSCS: Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group Its finally here! Baseball season has begun. Athletes have spent all off-season preparing their bodies, arms, and minds for the big day. Yet once the season starts this all seems to be forgotten, but why? To lift or not to lift. This is something I am asked constantly by my athletes during the season. Many think that performing an in-season training program will stiffen up their arm, decrease their velocity, and limit their endurance as the season progresses. I am here to debunk all these myths and explain the importance of an appropriate in-season arm care program as per evidence-based research. Additionally, I will provide a link to an exercise program that’s proven to mitigate injury risk and increase performance. In 20...
Friday College Recap Powered by Orlin & Cohen
by Mike Anderson Week 4 is among us in the 2022 NCAA Baseball season, and the local teams were back at it again Friday night. Let’s go around the horn and see how they did. Division I: LIU beat Fordham, 9-4, where the two teams combined for 26 hits. It was such an offensive game that 17 of the 18 starters between the two lineups recorded at least one hit. All of LIU’s starters hit safely, while eight of nine Fordham starters hit safely. Second baseman Jack Harnisch led off the game with a home run for Fordham, but that lead was lost in the top of the third when shortstop EJ Exposito crushed a three-run homer to left field. LIU took a 3-1 lead, and only added to it later. An RBI single in the bottom of the third made it just 3-2, but LIU scratched across three more in the fourth and two mo...
Risk Factors for Youth Overhead Athletes
by Lewis Lupowitz, PT, DPT, CSCS: Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group It’s that time of year, baseball is in the air. Players, parents, and coaches are all eager for the warmer weather, “pop” of the ball into a glove and “crack” of the bat. This is a critical time for everyone as they prepare for the start of a new season. As a sports-physical therapist specializing in the care of overhead athletes I believe it is most important to educate the masses on what it takes to get ready for the season and stay healthy throughout. The Orlin & Cohen Orthopedic Group has partnered with Prospect Performance Factory and recently performed pre-season screens for players. This allowed us to catch any glaring issues prior to the season getting underway and will also help us have a reference for ind...
Saturday College Recap Powered by Orlin & Cohen
What a wonderful sight to see college baseball occurring all over our region. Several teams were in action today, and it was overall a very productive day for the locals. Still, we are not at full speed as Hofstra, St. John’s, Maritime and Nassau all had their games postponed due to COVID concerns. Here’s to hoping we will get a full slate of games at some point this year. Here’s how the action went down: Division-I: Stony Brook is back to .500 at 7-7 after sweeping Albany in a DH by the scores of 9-3 and 14-6. In Game 1, Sam Turcotte got the start and he was outstanding. He went six innings, striking out 10, allowing just 1 ER on five hits. The Seawolves broke a scoreless tie in the third on a sac fly by John Tuccillo to score Derek Yalon. They extended the lead to 2-0 i...
Opening Day Recap Powered By Orlin & Cohen
Well, there’s always today’s games. Despite the excitement of college baseball’s Opening Day, it was a less-than-stellar performance from the local teams. All five teams in action suffered setbacks. The good news is that today is another day for the team’s to bounce back. Here’s a quick rundown of how it went down. Check out Orlin & Cohen by clicking here. Division-I: Hofstra entered the bottom of the eighth inning with a 6-4 lead over Purdue. The flood gates, unfortunately, would open in that inning for the Boilermakers, who put up a five-spot. The big knock came by Kyle LaPlante – who crushed a bases-clearing double to give them a 9-6 lead, which wound up being the final. The closer for Purdue is named Bo Hofstra – coincidentally enough, and ...
