Alan Jaeger is teaching Voodoo!
October 31, 2009
In today’s day and age you can’t walk around proclaiming your greatness without either showing results or providing scientific information supporting your claims. In the case of Alan Jaeger scientific information isn’t in his vocabulary or on his website or videos, I guess this means he has results. Let’s look at his results.
Alan Jaeger has three major pitchers on his website who I assume used his program. One of them is Joel Zumaya. Joel Zumaya is quoted on Jaeger’s website saying:
“The Jaeger Sports Training Program has helped me improve the health and strength of my arm..”
Joel Zumaya’s career has been plagued by injury and he just recently broke off his shoulder bone while pitching a game. I have honestly never heard of this injury until this happened. If I was his pitching coach, I would personally take responsibility for his injury’s because bad mechanics is what is causing them. Chris Oleary will tell you why here. Jaeger’s next victim or should I say poster boy is Barry Zito. Read more

Pulling Down is Slowing Down
October 26, 2009
Alan Jaeger’s Long Toss program uses what he calls the “Pull down phase.” This is because after throwing the ball 300 feet in his “Air it out” program he wants you to pull down your delivery so you do not continue to launch the ball high as you move closer to 60 feet. The problem is this goes against the science of velocity.
Pitching velocity is the product of momentum and torque. You can read countless articles on this site about Momentum and Torque. Pulling the ball down during release prevents early internal rotation which is a key component to velocity as stated in the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) case study called Comparison of High Velocity and Low Velocity Pitch Deliveries.
