Some throwing this morning coming off of a deload… We are back out to 90ft with or throws coming in starting to be a little more on a line! Elbow feels great! Just continuing to focus on staying smooth and melodic. #pitchingmechanics #baseballtraining #pitchingdevelopment #armcare #pitchingcoach

Watch a figure skater spin…. When they stretch their arms out, they slow down. When they pull their arms in tight, they spin FAST. Pitching works the same way. When a pitcher rotates with long, loose arms and leaks energy, the body slows down. But when the body stays compact and connected through rotation, the spin speeds up and energy transfers straight into the throw. More efficient rotation = more velocity with less effort. Feel stuck at the same velocity? Finding it difficult to return to the mound after injury? Can’t find the strike zone? I’ve helped dozens of athletes improve mechanical efficiency, feel more confident on the mound & throw HARD strikes… Click the link to apply… Spots fill fast! #pitchingdevelopment #pitchingmechanics #pitchingcoach #baseballlife #velocity

Replying to @The kid Bryce This is me my sophomore year of high school, up to 95mph. You just slide step!

Today’s throwing session…. #pitchingdevelopment #pitchingmechanics #tommyjohn #pitchersonly #WTFISAUCL

Direction is everything. Many kids struggle to bring themselves back to center after repeatedly missing arm side. This is something I utilized early in my career, keeping my leg swing to a minimum and allowed me to hold direction much more effectively down the mound. #pitchingdevelopment #pitchingmechanics #pitchingcoach #thestriketheory #pitchersonly

I’ve been working w/ @kevin_hardy5 for about a month… we’ve been working hard to clean up arm action, load and plane of rotation. Today I asked, “what’s your hardest throw ever?” “82mph” 10 minutes later… “82.2, 82.5 & 82.7mph” We have a lot of room to keep climbing as we clean some stuff up! We are still a month out from the start of the HS season! #pitchingdevelopment #pitchingmechanics #baseballtraining #remotetraining #thestriketheory

“Omg your son is the 159th player in the class of 2035?” - said no scout ever Trust me at that age no one cares how hard you throw, because in 2 years the list will look different. Then another 2 years goes by, the list will look even more different. By the time you get to high school, kids you thought would be at the top of the class won’t be there at all. Parents. Please don’t burn your kids out of the game. There is plenty of time to develop, gain strength & add velocity. Do not rush them into movements they aren’t ready for. Play multiple sports, run, jump and get outside. #RemotePitching #PitchingCoach #BaseballTraining #ThrowingProgram #PitchingDevelopment

When our body is in a “reactive state” it moves significantly faster in order to keep us safe. The same happens when we throw, components of the kinetic chain “react” to the movement before it until it completes the chain and releases the ball. The more we can get our body to react to gravity or forces we’ve created ourselves, the faster we can move down the mound transferring the energy up the chain and into the arm… Feeling stuck?

@jasonsbickford already up to 91 MPH EARY in his build up as he gets ready for this upcoming season 🔥💪🏾 #PitchingDevelopment #VelocityTraining #ArmCare #BaseballPerformance #ThrowingProgram

Moving with time constraints (such as holding the ball in our glove for longer) forces our body to “self-organize” in order to complete the throw to the intended target. One of the main things I wanted him to work on was just completing his arm-action in one motion, holding the ball in his glove for longer allowed him to achieve this while also staying closed for longer resulting in a more accurate throw. #pitchingdevelopment #pitchingmechanics #velocity #baseballtraining #remotetraining

When we load the back leg we aren’t just “sitting” (yes we want a good hinge) we coil into our rear leg, starting from our foot/ankle all the way up into your hip. This way not only are we loading lateral forces in our hip but rotational forces as well. Notice how my foot starts to torque into the rubber as my knee starts counter rotating, from there we just unload all of this built up tension towards home plate. #remotecoach #VelocityDevelopment #PitchingMechanics #ArmCare #BaseballTraining

It’s hard to be explosive without a solid base or consistent relationship with the ground. When we go into our leg lift, when we land into front foot strike, how we can transfer energy down the mound, are all directly affected by ankle strength and stability. *My jumps are shxt right now I know* #PitchingCoach #RemoteCoaching #BaseballTraining #VelocityDevelopment #ArmCare

Threw a real baseball today! It feels like my arm wanted to just GO, but I need to learn to fall in love with flicking it again… My strength numbers are up 15-20% and my shoulder/elbow feel great! #tommyjohn #velocitydevelopment #armcare #pitchingmechanics #remotecoach

Wednesday is reevaluation day… If my shoulder strength/mobility is up to speed, I will be moving to the next phase of my build up with a real baseball…. I’m really happy with the way I’m moving, I feel like I could throw the ball 100% and it’s really hard to stay patient but I just have to trust the process 💪🏾 Struggling to gain velocity? Come back from a major arm injury? No confidence on the mound? I help athletes clean up their mechanics, find rhythm and ultimately throw harder without feeling pain or discomfort.

Why you should be using a 7oz plyo ball during your return-to-throw post-TJ…. Yes, there is a point where stress needs to be reintroduced but it needs to be strategic. If too much stress is introduced too early, you run into longer recovery times which can also put a halt to your training. Guess what that means? Your timeline is going to be F’d up and it’s going to take even longer to get on the mound… #remotepitchingcoach #armcare #tommyjohn #labrumrehab #pitcherhealth

I’m not saying pitch design is bad, but trying to make your “stuff” better by manipulation, that’s just a terrible approach. If your arm has to deviate from its natural slot/mobility to execute a pitch, you are putting yourself at risk for injury and can also cause inconsistency in velocity and command of those pitches… #PitchingCoach #BaseballCoach #ThrowingCoach #PlayerDevelopment #PitcherTraining

Here’s some takeaways…. 🌊 Flow with the hips 🌊 ❌ Eliminate wasted movement in arm-action ❌ 🔄 Initiate Pelvic Rotation 🔄 🦵Back leg works over front hip 🦵 👇Hips & Shoulders work down 👇 #pitchingcoach #velocitytraining #throwingmechanics #armcare #baseballtraining

Today I got to throw. Still a long journey ahead but we take the wins where we can around here! DM or Comment “READY” to get my the same program that allowed me to sit mid 90s again after labrum surgery and how I plan to come back from Tommy John throwing just as hard! #pitchingcoach #velocitytraining #throwingmechanics #armcare #baseballtraining

When the plane of rotation doesn’t match the slope we throw on, it makes it really hard to transfer energy efficiently from our drive leg into our lead leg block and being able to get the arm up on time. Our shoulders mirror our hips which should mirror the mound. When we can execute this, velocity is easier, our arms feel better and our pitches have better shape with more BITE!
