Jonathon Niese’s Shoulder Injury Explained

Posted on March 10, 2014 by Joe Janish

What exactly is going on with Jonathon Niese‘s shoulder? Would you like an explanation from an expert?

In the podcast below titled “The Fix,” listen to Angel Borrelli and I discuss Niese’s lingering shoulder issue, what he needs to do to remain healthy, his chance of starting on Opening Day, and what other pitchers can learn from his injury. Run time is just under a half-hour.

This is my first podcast / radio interview in several years, so cut me some slack — and also let me know what we can do better the next time. Yes, there will be a next time — Angel and I intend to do this on a regular basis — so if you have any questions about pitching mechanics that you would like answered during a future episode of “The Fix.” Thanks for listening, and thank you for your feedback.
