I have been following this and am starting week 5's throwing this week. I don't follow this to the letter more than anything just listen to your arm. The first 6 weeks are not about velocity at all the DR has stressed just tossing. The Dr actually cleared me to start tossing @ 16 weeks and not at 4 months. My 1st day of throwing was August 16th. I am a 21yrs old RHP pitcher at Jacksonville University redshirt sophmore. Week 1 @ 4 months Tossing 50ft 25 throws every other day Week 2 Tossing 50ft 25 throws daily Weeks 3-4 Tossing 50ft 25 throws daily and 100ft 10 throws every other day Week 5-6 Warm up 50ft 25 throws to and 100ft daily and 150ft every ohter day for 10 throws Weeks 7-8 Same long toss regimen but allowed to finish up the daily throwing with 10 throws at 50ft at 75% effort like a flatground. Weeks 9-10 Same long toss begin bullpens @ 50ft 90% effort Weeks 11-12 this is the (8 month mark post surgery) Full length bullpens 60ft @ 90% Checkup after this and then cleared to pitch 100% velocity. Dr didn't say when I was cleared to throw different pitches so I will wait and call him or just slowly work them in once i start flat grounds.
