3X Pitching and the Timing Factor

Triple Extension or 3X is the extension of the drive leg ankle, knee and hip flexor. Triple Extending the drive leg drives the hips completely through to the target. If triple extension occurs quick enough and with enough force at the end of the stride while the shoulders stay closed and relaxed, this will create optimal separation in your core. The NPA’s (National Pitching Association) velocity case study of 2006 proved that elite pitchers who throw 90 plus mph get up to 60 degrees of hip to shoulder separation at front foot strike. Therefore if you are going to increase velocity you must learn to increase hip to shoulder separation by learning triple extension. Once you learn how to incorporate full triple extension into your pitching delivery, you will not see its benefits until you master the final factor. The final factor in learning any new muscle memory is the timing factor. The timing factor of triple extension is critical to creating 60 degrees of hip to shoulder separation and increasing velocity. Read more

MLB Tryout Camps 2010

DO NOT ATTEND A TRYOUT CAMP WITHOUT READING THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Do not make the mistake and attend a MLB tryout camp without knowing what to expect and what they will expect of you. If you plan to make an impact this year with scouts I recommend that you visit at least two different camps in distant locations. Call up some teammates and make it a road trip. Each camp may have area scouts from different clubs and scouting bureau scouts who run the tryouts. The reason for attending more than one is to put yourself in front of as many area scouts as possible.

Follow this link below to start educating yourself on what to expect! Best of luck guys!
