Rob Blanc’s baseball career has always revolved around pitching, from working as a professional pitcher to a performance coach. When he suffered a rare shoulder injury, he was determined to find care that would get him back to throwing 90-plus mph fastballs.
It was during a routine pitch that things went wrong. As he released the ball, Blanc felt a pull and burning sensation in his shoulder. When he tried to throw again, he could not lift his arm.
