Online Pitching Articles

Read some of the latest baseball pitching velocity articles released by TopVelocity.net. These baseball pitching articles are listed below from the newest to oldest. These pitching articles are all FREE and will help educate you on the revolutionary approach to pitching velocity called 3X Pitching.

Please feel free to make your comments on these baseball pitching articles. All opinions are welcome. You can also participate in more discussion in the forums.

Scientific Proof that 3X is Key to Separation and Pitching Velocity

If you read the countless articles on this site you will learn about a new term that has been brought into the pitching world. This term was first planted into the pitching delivery right here at TopVelocity.net. Maybe you found this website because you wanted to learn the hype behind this term or maybe you have no idea of what you just stumbled on. Either way this article will cover and scientifically prove a revolutionary secret to high velocity pitching.

The term that I am referring to is called Triple Extension (3X). 3X is defined as the extension of the ankle, knee and hip flexor. It comes from the Olympic Lifting world. In Olympic Lifting it is a key component to building power. This is also true for power pitchers but it is even more than just a power component for pitchers, it will enhance hip to shoulder separation which has been proven to be the component that holds 80% of a pitchers velocity potential.

Sexist Study Holds the Secrets to Pitching Velocity

This article is not here to start a debate between the sexes but it is here to show the differences between low and high velocity pitchers. Based on the information in this article Elite Female baseball pitchers will be put in the category of low velocity pitchers and Elite Male baseball pitchers will be put in the category of high velocity pitchers.

In the case study performed by the Biomechanics Laboratory, Dept of Kinesiology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, the above statement was found to be true. This study used eleven elite male and female baseball pitchers and the female baseball pitchers had lower velocities than the males. The purpose of the study was not to prove that these elite female baseball pitchers threw slower than there male counterparts but the purpose was to show the differences in their baseball pitching mechanics. These mechanical differences listed in the study holds the secrets to pitching velocity. Read more

Hard Throwers Land Hard at Front Foot

The moment of front foot strike in the power pitching delivery is critical, this is when power is converted into torque. The more power a pitcher can generate at front foot strike then the more potential to generate high amounts of torque in the elastic muscles of the body. There has been a lot of controversy around this topic and it is time to set the record straight.

Many conventional coaches would coach a soft landing at front foot strike and many of these coaches would be reducing a pitchers ability to build torque and increase pitching velocity. The science today now proves that high velocity pitchers apply more force into the ground at front foot strike than low velocity pitchers. Let’s look at this science along with some “Big” League high velocity pitchers, so we can learn how to benefit from this cutting edge information.

The Secret to Increasing a Pitcher’s RPM’s and K’s

This is an exciting time for baseball because science is starting to have a major impact on the game. A sign of this impact has been the increase in pitching velocity across the board. We are hearing more and more about 100 mph pitchers coming out of high school and college ball today. Pre-Steroid ERA this would have been unheard of.

TopVelocity.net has been at the forefront of this cutting edge information. What we have done here is interpret this new scientific data into laymen’s terms to help the young pitcher benefit from it. One of the latest studies to come out, which shows the relationship of pronation speeds to vertical ball movements, is some of this cutting edge science that has been right under our noses but now that it is documented, it will begin to impact the game.

Research Proving Pronation Supports Pitching Velocity While Preventing Injury

More and more pitchers are hearing the word Pronation as it relates to good pitching mechanics. The reason it is becoming more apart of the conventional vocabulary of baseball today is because of the ever rising arm surgeries at all levels of the game.

The reason the rise in arm surgery is causing this terminology to surface is because institutes like the Department of Sport and Exercise Science at The University of Auckland, New Zealand have discovered the importance of this mechanical component to protecting the elbow joint of the arm when throwing as evident in the article called the Evolution of the treatment options of ulnar collateral ligament injuries of the elbow hosted at the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The article describes the issues of the throwing movement on the elbow joint and lists some new discoveries and solutions to these problems. Here is an excerpt from the article stating the importance of pronation to reducing loads on the arm which can lead to injury. Read more
