Baseball America, February 14-27, 2005 pg. 47 Innovative Keeps Players Warm Whether you’re a pitcher trying to keep your arm loose between innings or a utility infielder looking to keep your muscles warm while waiting to get in the game, The Heater pitching sleeve from Innovative Sports will do the trick. Retaining body heat is essential for players in all sports, but perhaps nowhere is that more important than a pitcher’s need to maintain a certain level of looseness in his or her throwing arm after warming up, or more importantly after tossing an inning. Traditionally, pitchers would simply put on a jacket between frames to keep that level of warmth, but The Heater takes it a step further. The battery powered sleeve can be warmed up and sitting for you when you finish an inning on the mound or in preparation for an outing. The target 120-degree temperature will instantly begin to expand and loosen muscles and soft tissue groups in the major throwing regions. This heating action will also increase blood flow and circulation to all of the targeted areas. The company refers to The Heater as a “hot tub for your arm” directed to the area you need targeted to get the most out of every performance. Innovative Sports’ heated jacket takes the idea even further, heating the full surface of the chest and back.. The lithium battery for this jacket is about the size of a deck of cards and is shaped with a curve to fit comfortably against your body. This jacket heat up to a maximum of 140 degrees, where similar products heat only in the front and reach a maximum temperature of 104. This softshell jacket is lightweight and water resistant, and can keep even the most cold-natured comfy and warm in frigid conditions. But for baseball, the jacket is a technological breakthrough to help keep the chest and back muscles loose between innings in any weather.
