What it takes to gain velocity.

June 17, 2009

If you haven’t figured it out yet, velocity doesn’t come in a pill. Sorry to bust your bubble but it takes a lot of hard and smart work to develop it. If you are looking to gain 4-5 mph on your fastball then you must work to improve in all facets of pitching. These facets include:

Efficient and effective pitching mechanics.

Total body weight training along with speed and agility training.

Proper nutritional diet and supplementation.

Balanced training regime to allow for proper muscular and mental recovery.

I understand this news can be overwhelming and a buzz killer but if gaining velocity was easy and could come in a pill form, everyone would be doing it and then 90 plus mph would become average. If you want to be extraordinary then you must live to be extraordinary. Listed below are some links to get you on the right track, to developing that velocity, that you are so determined to obtain in such a short period of time.
