TAMPA, Fla. – At Driveline Baseball, I tested the FlexPro Grip device, designed to enhance grip strength and potentially prevent pitching injuries. Guided by Phillies minor-league pitcher Josh Hejka, who combines his pitching skills with computer science expertise, I learned how the device isolates finger muscles to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Hejka emphasizes the need for innovation in injury prevention, focusing on strengthening surrounding muscles since the ulnar collateral ligament itself cannot be improved, advocating for better preparation methods for pitchers.
