In the below clip I teach the concept of creating torque as a hitter. Being able to delay your upper body while your hips open is the key to explosive power. This also works the same way in pitching mechanics as well!
I have received a lot of questions lately about how to throw a curveball; specifically how to throw this pitch without it hanging. Most pitchers have a good curveball but not an excellent one. In this video I show you some simple strategies and techniques on how to avoid a hanging curveball and have better rotation.
Just about every pitcher wants to learn how to throw faster. In fact, it is rare to have a day go by where we don’t get an e-mail sent to us with a question or two about how to increase pitching velocity. In this video I demonstrate two simple ways to put some fire behind the ball.
Many pitchers throw faster from the windup than they do when throwing from the stretch. The problem with many of these pitchers is they have more control from the stretch than they do when they pitch from the windup. Here are some simple pitching tips that will keep your velocity, yet help you with control when you throw from the windup.
Here are a couple more resources to help you improve your pitching velocity:
Building a Blazing Fastball
Finding Balance and Posture from the Stretch
Learn how to throw a Baseball using proper balance and momentum toward home plate. Using this proper throwing technique will help you maximize pitching velocity and keep pressure off your throwing arm. Without this technique you run the risk of hurting yourself. Best learn the correct way to throw now and avoid injuries down the road.
We all know that proper pitching mechanics can increase velocity, help control and decrease the risk of arm injury. What most parents and coaches don’t know is how to teach pitching mechanics to their youth pitchers. Here I give you a taste of how I like to teach my pitchers one step at a time.
If you want the full DVD on how I teach pitching mechanics, you can find it here at www.simplifiedpitching.com
An elastic band is a great way to check the development of your pitching mechanics. Many pitchers give up so much energy by opening up their front side too early. This video will show you how to see if you are achieving the proper delayed shoulder rotation so you can maximize power and reduce injury.
Do you want to increase pitching velocity? Do you think you can just by merely changing your pitching mechanics?
Every pitcher that I talk to wants to gain some velocity regardless of how hard they throw.. In this video I demonstrate how many pitchers lose mph by not paying particular attention to this very common mechanical flaw. Most pitchers do not rotate their hips all the way around as you will see here….
