Healing the Pitcher with Water

Healing the Pitcher with water, it’s amazing to me. Dehydration: a basic cause of injury to the athlete. We drink all kinds of fluids, throughout our lives, while playing sports in Little League, High School, College and Professional Sports and we are still fighting the effects of dehydration. Chronic injury, injury on a play that an athlete has preformed a thousand times… have you ever questioned what is going on?? Many Trainers have and those who have been introduced to the benefits of Kangen Water are excited that there is an answer to helping their athletes be ‘Stronger, Faster and Bigger’. Read more

Triple Extension Pitching is Blowing UP!

The 3X Pitching Velocity Camps are in full swing and triple extension (3X) pitching is the center of attention. It is nice to find that there are those who can’t get enough of it, when I am so used to those who just completely ignore it. Just yesterday, I found two websites that referenced triple extension in their understanding of the mechanics of pitching. They even used my image here of Tim Lincecum with the 3X label showing the extension of the three joints. It is Official, 3X Pitching is Blowing UP! Read more

Welcome to the 90 MPH Club!

“Welcome to the 90MPH club,” is the catch phrase that we all would love to hear in our careers. More than likely this is your ultimate goal as a pitcher, because if you make it to the 90MPH Club, then you have put yourself in the recruiting pool for Professional Baseball. If you have ever been to a MLB tryout Camp then you will hear this phrase a lot, “Throw 90 or go home!” At most camps they are not as blunt but this is what they are thinking when they are holding that gun to your back when you throw your first pitch.

Baseball Speed Training

In baseball speed is the best way to measure an athletes ability. Speed is a critical component in all sports. Speed in baseball can be measured in throwing speed, bat speed and running speed. If you can excel at all of these facets then your value as a baseball player is great.

Many coaches and scouts would say you are either born with speed or not. I would say forget them. Speed can be developed. I was the slowest high school athlete. I was 6’1 170 lbs and could catch a football but because I was so slow they made me a tight end on the football team. I was the skinniest tight end in the state. I should have been a wide receiver but my speed was my problem. When I trained with the 3X Pitching Velocity Program in college as a pitcher, which helped me develop speed all around, I went from the slowest to the fastest on my team. What I learned was that when you increase your bodies ability to output more power then you increase your speed all around. So not only did my throwing speed increase but also my bat speed and my running speed. The key to this is called Force Production. Read more

In Season Training Program Pitchers

All pitchers are not the same and their workloads in season are not the same either. This is why the question of what is a good in season training program for pitchers will never be answered correctly in a step by step process. The best way to answer this question is by listing guidelines that a pitcher should follow when in season.

The main focus of an in season training program should be recovery. The goal is to maintain strength throughout the season. If you are a pitcher who is throwing a lot of innings then strength gains in season should not be a focus. If you are a pitcher who is not throwing a lot of innings in season then strength gains can be more of a focus. This means you should base your in season training program on your in season workload.

To help you find a good in season training program follow these simple guidelines. Read more
