If you look at the clips of his arm laid back,,, you can see the crazy amount of extension his upper back... The "Swim" exercise laying prone could be a way to build strength of the upper back in that position.
I think the javelin throwing puts unnecessary strain on your rotator cuff, as he tore it last year. It's his long stride and weight shift that creates his velocity, not the javelin.
It was a strain, not a tear. If he had torn his rotator cuff, he would not have been able to return later that summer. And incidentally, how can you directly correlate the injury to one specific part of his training routine when nearly everything he does seems to incorporate his shoulder?

I have been waiting on this so long
I’ve done this with Mike Marshall. He is working on staying inside the javelin. And getting behind the ball for cutters and sliders. Power.

I was just watching videos of what he’s doing
Could you tell me what that javelin training tool name is exactly? I’ve been trying to find it but I cannot seem to. Thanks
I bought two “traiing javelins” on Amazon for 30 bucks
The javelin he uses is called the "Flecha"
That is very convenient. "Flecha" just means arrow in Spanish, like Bow and Arrow(Arco y Flecha)
All the notes about avoiding damaging your back feel targeted at me

He strained his cuff throwing 98+ multiple times against the Yankees in the Bronx. Had nothing to do with training.
ya it was definitely the javelins and not the actual hundreds of pitches he made in game
