Baseball. Pro · Youth · Lifestyle. The whole cell.
Three load patterns no other major sport shares — high-velocity overhead throwing (the most-injurious athletic motion measured), ground-up rotational hitting, and short-burst alactic position movement interspersed with long passive recovery. Programming respects all three or it stops being baseball. This page is the cell — bucket × position × adaptation — parsed fractally.

Bucket 01Pro · baseball4 specific · 15 generic · pitcher-heavy
The pro-baseball stack is concentrated on the most-injurious position. Pitcher coverage is strong (in-season arm care, daily pre-throwing, shoulder neural drive, SLAP/periscapular endurance). The four other positions — hitter, catcher, infielder, outfielder — currently inherit from generic programming. Priority gap.
Rotational power · ground-up kinetic chain · bat-speed mechanics · thoracic dissociation · on-deck prep. Currently inherits from generic max-strength + rotational generics.

Position
Catcher
0 entries · gap
Deep squat hip mobility · throw-down power · single-leg load asymmetry · knee preservation. Currently inherits from mobility-PAILS-RAILS + generic single-leg work.
→ queued for next session
Position
Infielder
0 entries · priority gap
Single-leg deceleration · lateral COD power · throwing-arm care without the pitcher's volume. Position-player arm-care is its own protocol.
Elbow valgus stability. Pitcher-leading but applies to position-players with high throw volume. Tommy John epidemiology in youth pitchers is the public-health story; preservation programming is the prevention layer.

Bucket 02Youth · baseball1 specific · 8 LTAD-generic · pitcher-only
Youth baseball is currently anchored by the pitch-count discipline literature — USA Baseball MSAC + MLB pitch-smart pitch counts + cumulative-volume fatigue. Travel-ball volume management and youth-hitter rotational LTAD programming are gaps.
Rotational power for the growing athlete — pre-pubertal coordination phase, then post-pubertal force development. LTAD-aware sequencing matters here.

Bucket 03Lifestyle · baseball0 specific · ~10 generic · underserved
Lifestyle baseball is the weekend-rec, adult-masters, beer-league player. Real population, no sport-specific entries yet. Currently inherits from masters-aware mobility + medial-epicondylalgia eccentric loading (golfer's elbow protocol, applies to adult overuse throwing).
Adult rec
Weekend warrior
0 entries · gap
Return-to-throwing after layoff · shoulder preservation for the 35+ rec player · adult-onset medial-epicondylalgia from throwing volume after years off.
