Welcome to The Release Point — ThrowIQ's home for arm care intelligence.
If you're a baseball parent or coach, you already know the anxiety. Your kid's arm is the most important thing on the field, and protecting it feels like guesswork.
How many throws is too many?
Should he pitch on Saturday if he threw 50 pitches Wednesday?
Does long toss count toward the limit?
We built ThrowIQ to answer these questions with data, not gut feelings. And we built this blog to share what we're learning along the way.
What You'll Find Here
We're not going to write fluff. Every article on The Release Point will be:
- Research-backed — We cite real studies from ASMI, MLB, and sports medicine journals
- Parent-friendly — No jargon, just clear guidance you can use
- Honest — We'll tell you what the science says, even when it's not what you want to hear
Coming Soon
We're working on articles covering:
- The "Game Pitch" Myth: Why 88% of arm stress happens off the mound
- The 2025 Pitch Smart Cheat Sheet (printable guide)
- Why your coach is blind to total workload (and how to help)
- What travel ball won't tell you about arm health
The Bottom Line
Youth baseball has an injury epidemic. UCL tears in kids are up over 600% in the last two decades. But it doesn't have to be this way.
The research is clear: most arm injuries are preventable with proper workload management. That's why ThrowIQ exists — to put that power in parents' hands.
