There is one "Arm Path" to pitching velocity that all high velocity pitchers take. This "Arm Path" begins not where conventional wisdom would believe, which is after hand break, but in the cocked position at front foot strike. The funky delivery here of Zach Outman is...
Pitching pain and injury, along with most elbow problems come from overuse and poor mechanics. If we narrow it down to elbow pain then proper pronation is usually the determining factor. Proper pronation of the arm at release is when the thumb finishes down. Notice...
There is a lot of controversy around the glove side to pitching mechanics. Conventional Wisdom would coach the pitcher to pull down or pull around the glove side to launch the throwing arm into action. The problem is this would go against pure speed and classical...
Tim Lincecum is a great example that size helps but isn't everything. Pitching is built on physics so the better you use the properties of physical to increase pitching velocity the harder you throw. You don't need a physics degree to benefit from physics you just...
"Scap Loading" is the pinching of the shoulder blades or scapula during hip to shoulder separation. It is an important factor to velocity. Notice the picture here of Greg Maddux "Scap Loading". The question is, is "Scap Loading" a reaction to the stride or is it a...
