Pitches, Pitches, Pitches and more Pitches

Those who lack velocity want to throw more pitches. The problem is this is a double edged sword. When your velocity is poor, and you want to take the easy way out, you opt for ball movement. This involves trying, or successfully learning, offspeed pitches. Here is a list of these type of pitches.

Offspeed Pitches:

• Curveball
• Slurveball
• Circle Change
• Forkball
• Knuckleball
• Gyroball
• The “Volken”

I am not saying that these pitches are junk or a waste of time, because many great pitchers have used them. What I am saying is this is always last resort. Especially when you are young. You should expect your velocity to improve all the way into your 20′s. If you have plateaued, then you need a velocity enhancement program like 3X Pitching and the Ace Pitcher Handbook before you need to learn another pitch. Also learning these offspeed pitches have proven to decrease velocity, because if not thrown correctly,  it can add more wear and tear to the arm and it also can change your mechanics. I have seen in my career guys loss a few miles per hour because they fell in love with a Forkball, or a Curveball. I am not saying this is the case for everyone but it is the case for most young pitchers. Read more

3X Pitching :: Introduction

3X is an approach to pitching that is very different from what you have been taught in your career. It is the product of many years of research, trial and error, the pure desire to overcome a career ending rotator cuff tear and to throw 90+mph. This approach to pitching isn’t for everyone because it will take an insane work ethic to implement this approach into your pitching delivery. If you do not have the mental toughness or the desire to make a major functional change to how you pitch then I would suggest you not waste your time with this revolutionary approach to pitching velocity. If you are that guy who is looking for an edge, that will help you far exceed your competition and launch you to the next level, then clear your mind and body and open yourself up to 3X Pitching. Best of luck! Read more

ASMI vs Alan Jaeger in Long Toss Study

Maximum distance throws produce increased torques and changes in kinematics; caution is therefore advised for use of these throws in rehabilitation and training.

This was the conclusion of the ASMI’s case study, “Biomechanical Comparison of Baseball Pitching and Long-Toss,” released to the public January 2011. This is everything I had come to a conclusion with using all of their previous studies on flat ground throws and elbow injuries. Here was my article about this when Alan Jaeger contacted me to tell me he was upset with my stance against long toss as the “be all, end all” to pitching velocity, back in July of 2009. Read more
