If you are sick of having average bat speed, average arm speed and average leg speed then you are not training effectively. You need a program built for the baseball player that enhances your bodies ability to generate power in a short period of time. The key is total body explosive lifts like the Olympic lifts. Dr Garhammar has studied the Olympic lifts for years and he proved that the second clean or hang clean, is by far the greatest lift in the weight room for training power production in the athlete. The problem with the O-lifts is that these lifts are as intricate as the mechanics of hitter and throwing a baseball. This means you will need a training program that comes with an Olympic Lifting specialist to teach you how to perform the lifts correctly, so you are benefiting from the training and not setting yourself up for disaster. If the training program does not comes with a specialist then you need a training program that comes with instructional videos of a specialist to teach you the proper technique.

Here at TopVelocity.net we are developing some of the top baseball strength training programs in the country. Our most popular program is the Baseball Training Manual using the famous Fusion System. This program was influenced by Kurt Hester who built the training programs for LSU in the 1990′s when they won 5 National Championships and were called “Gorilla Ball.” They earned this name because they were the most developed ball players in the league and broke the single season home run record. Here is an interview with Kurt talking about his success with LSU and how he built his fame as one of the top strength trainers in all of sports.

I understand this news can be overwhelming and a buzz killer but if gaining velocity was easy and could come in a pill form then everyone would be doing it and 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 velocity, that you are so determined to obtain, in such a short period of time.

Notice pitcher’s like John Smoltz here, he has a delivery that looks effortless. This is because the explosiveness of his delivery comes at a point in time that is so fast it fools the human eye. Think of a golfer like Tiger Woods. When he swings the club back, if you blink your eyes he has already hit the ball and is following through. The same is with pitchers like John Smoltz. He throws in the upper 90′s but it sure doesn’t look like he does.

The question is, “How does this happen?” What these pitchers are doing, as they start to build momentum, is hold all of their weight back waiting for the last possible second to transfer the momentum as quick as they can. The best way for you to get a good understanding of this is with video. I hope this helps.

I hate to use a legend like Satchel Paige as a bad example but in this case he is a bad example of something he really didn’t care about. He was a magician with the ball, not a flame thrower. Notice how slowly Paige transfers his momentum all at once.

Now notice Felix Hernandez holding his weight back to the last second before letting his momentum explode to the target.

The key to performing this explosive mometum tranfer is in the lift leg and the head. When you lift your leg kick your butt towards the target, then lower the leg away from the body moving the hips back in the opposite direction.  Your weight is balanced over the “Power Pad” of your back foot. The “Power Pad” is the part of the bottom of your foot, just under the balls of your foot. As your lift leg travels down the hill and you squat on your back leg, keep your head over your back leg until your lift leg can not go any farther. Then triple extend your back leg, fire hips then shoulders.

The main focus here is transfering momentum at the last second by holding your weight back until you can’t anymore. If the mechanical directions I described here are confusing, then just use the focus of this topic and add it to your delivery as you see fit. I would take this advice with any correction to your delivery.
