Before we dive straight into flexibility and the high velocity pitcher we need to first define what flexibility is and why is it so important to the high velocity pitcher. Conventional wisdom has this flexibility issue completely wrong. How many times have you heard...
I have already made the argument that the body generates the velocity of the pitch and not the arm. This article will continue to prove this point and give the pitcher a better understanding of how elite pitching velocity is generated. This will challenge conventional...
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...
“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...
The most important component to enhance pitching torque in the pitching delivery is what is called, “Separation.” This is the separation of the hips and shoulders at front foot strike. This is what builds pitching torque mainly in the core instead of the...
