I decided to finally pull together over 5 years of camp data which included measurements like vertical jump, body weight and more, to try and silence all the naysayers of the TopVelocity programs. I know, a bit ambitious with the naysayers! I had 181 pitchers who...

Pitching mechanics are critical when it comes to increasing pitching velocity. Hundreds of studies show the many correlations of certain pitching mechanics to increased pitching velocity. The problem is most coaches and players are unaware of these correlations and...

You want to start increasing pitching velocity and then start gaining weight. Yes, a study proves a high correlation between body weight and pitching velocity. The study states that larger athletes on average throw harder than smaller athletes. The case study also...

When most pitchers first learn high velocity pitching mechanics, like with the revolutionary approach called 3X Pitching, they quickly discover the importance of range of motion. Harder throwers can create more range of motion between the hips and shoulder and also in...
