Shadow throws are a slow throwing motion in a figure 8 pattern 
Sock throw is a throw into a special device where you can throw a ball
in the training without being on the field
These are done leading up to throwing during the last stages of rehab
60-90-60 program is instructed as follows
  warm up, when loose start clock throw 60 feet with no arc
then after three minutes move back to 90 feet throw again
with no arc emphasing good extension through target. After 
the prescribed number of minutes at 90 feet shorten to 
60 feet for three more minutes emphasing location rather
than velocity for fine motor skill practice
