If you are throwing with persistent pain, STOP! Email us, Call us, Send us a video or visit our academy. Sore arms rarely get better by working harder. If anything, they get worse. There are a number of reasons for a sore arm. Over the years the Pinkman family has dealt with most of them. Biomechanical flaws, physiological abnormality, improper warm up, poor arm strength, over-use with little in-season training, all will contribute to a minor sore arm or a major physical problem. Like most medical situations, the earlier that you can evaluate the symptoms and diagnose and treat the cause, the better chance you will have for a quick recovery.

Since the summer of 2009 we have enjoyed working with players on Wednesdays in Lorton at Jim's Brackin's "Top of the Order" facility. The facility is located at 7207 D Lockport Pl. in the northern part of Lorton. We have been conducting private and semi-private lessons in the exact same fashion as we had in Springfield and currently do in Dulles. We know for a fact that some families haven't contacted us because they thought we left town. Pinkman Baseball will continue to offer private and semi-private lessons in Lorton throughout the spring and summer months. If our schedule fills up on Wednesdays and Saturdays it is not out of the question that we could open up on other days in Lorton. So if you have been trying to figure out how to prepare for the spring season and would like to get back to training with us please email us at info@pinkman.us or call 703-661-8586
