Arm Readiness Snapshot
If your pitcher is cleared β but youβre unsure whether today should be intensity, light catch, or recovery β use this quick readiness filter.
This is not a diagnosis. Itβs a clarity tool.
Step 1 β How Does the Arm Feel?
- No soreness, normal feel
- Mild stiffness that improves with warm-up
- Persistent tightness or guarding
Step 2 β What Happened in the Last 72 Hours?
- Game or high-effort bullpen
- Light throwing only
- No throwing
Step 3 β What Does Movement Look Like Today?
- Normal rotation and rhythm
- Slightly restricted but improving
- Shortened motion or altered delivery
How to Interpret This
If soreness is low, exposure has been moderate, and movement looks clean β intensity may be appropriate.
If soreness exists, exposure was high, and movement is altered β today likely points toward recovery or light rebuild.
If uncertainty remains β evaluate Arm Readiness vs Clearance.
Readiness is not about pain alone. Itβs about exposure + movement + recovery alignment.
