How to increase pitching velocity?

June 1, 2010

How to increase pitching velocity?If you are looking for information on how to increase pitching velocity then I recommend that you start with the article here at TopVelocity.net on 10 Legitimate tips to Pitching Velocity. This is a good place to start your education. If you are serious about increase pitching velocity then I recommend that you sign up here for the Velocity Starter Kit. It is FREE and it will prepare you on how to reach your velocity goals.

Increasing Pitching Velocity

This is not an easy task. It takes a good understanding of velocity mechanics and the will to work and train hard and smart. If you are looking for a quick fix then you are wasting your time. I spent five years of my career only working on reaching my velocity goal of 93 mph and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. If increasing velocity was easy then the web would not be full of people claiming to have the secrets to its success. If you are going to reach your velocity goals it will be by learning how to become more total body in your pitching delivery and by developing more fast twitch muscle fibers with a good strength and conditioning program.

Band Separation Pitching Drill

January 10, 2010

The main purpose of a Drill, is to practice a component of the delivery that will help to correct a mechanical flaw. I also believe it is important to add resistance to a drill to help imprint the new muscle memory.

The drill below should be performed 2 – 3 days a week, for at least 3 – 4 months. The drill should also be performed after completing the “Flexibility Training” portion of the Fusion System which can be found in the Ace Pitcher Handbook. You can also find more drills in the handbook. Try to push each drill to muscle fatigue, if possible. Read more

Pitching Velocity Supplements

November 27, 2009

If you are looking to gain velocity in a pill form then view this link here. Otherwise the products listed below are supplements that will support any velocity focused training program and help you gain velocity in return.

The products listed below must be taken with a balanced diet. They MUST NOT be taken as a meal replacement. Any meal replacement supplement must be taken between your three main meals, not as a replacement of those meals. Fast twitch muscle fibers equal velocity and to develop more fast twitch muscle fibers you must take in more nutritional calories to support this development. These calories must consist of protein, complex carbohydrates and fatty acids; along with vitamins and minerals. Read more

Steven Ellis

November 21, 2009

ellis_cubsIf you haven’t been to www.TheCompletepitcher.com or www.Letstalkpitching.com then you haven’t searched the web for a lot of pitching information. Steven Ellis is the pitcher behind these websites and I have to say he does a good job. I am not saying this because he listed the video of me pitching to Jose Canseco on one of his sites called www.pitchingclips.com or am I! Read more

The Pitching Key to Torque is in the “Tilt”

November 18, 2009

example_hipsrotatingbeforeshoulders_timlincecum_2007_035.jpgOne of the main reasons a pitcher the size of Tim Lincecum, can generate as much velocity as a pitcher as tall as Randy Johnson, is because of core torque. The key to Tim Lincecum’s ability to create optimal torque is in his release point.

Tim has an “Over the top” release point and Randy has a “Sidearm” release point. I am not saying that every pitcher should throw the ball with a higher release point the shorter they are because there are benefits with all arm angles. What I am saying is a higher release point, using total body mechanics, will generate more core torque and in return increase velocity. Read more

The proper research on why long toss is bad for your arm!

July 18, 2009

beckettAlan Jaeger is upset that TopVelocity.net has not done the proper research on long tossing. He said in an email to me, “If you are going to be in the public domain, I would urge you to do the proper research.” I am not sure if you have visited his website but I do not see him practicing what he preaches. There is a lot more research posted on TopVelocity.net than www.jaegersports.com but I will still give him what he has requested in his email, “Proper Research.” Read more

The Secrets behind throwing hard!

July 10, 2009

81247729vd3.jpgWhat do hard throwers do different than you?

Dr. James Andrews at ASMI put together a study of low velocity pitchers to high velocity pitchers to determine the difference in pitching mechanics. It was a good feeling after reading this study because the same information coming from Dr. Andrews is the same information Top Velocity has been preaching for years. It proves why I overcame a rotator cuff tear and was able to reach 94 mph on my fastball post surgery. Read more
