    Are there benefits to a regimented cycling program for pitchers. Seems like the leg drive would be beneficial?

    Well Im no expert for sure. But. My 19 Cents on the subject might be like the Yen rate to the dollar. Real crappy.

    Ive been cycling since I was a teenager. Did it cause I liked to ride a bike and it let me have a lot of freedom. It did help out in athletics. It was another form of strength training.

    Today I still ride. It still helps with core strength. Allows me to still keep up, sort of, with the younger guys.

    I think it would help pitchers. However it should be done along side or in conjunction with a well thought out strength training plan. It should compliment the plan.

    If you get out and ride on, say, I-40, against traffic, you'll get some good practice to help you avoid line shots back at the mound!

    If you ride in those funny colored spandex biking outfits, it will toughen you up for the heckling you get when you are on the mound from opposing players and fans.:22_yikes:
