  • Studies You Should Know About – Factors for Increased Velocity

    The name of the study: Comparison of Kinematic and Temporal Parameters Between Different Pitch Velocity Groups Overview:  This research split up their subjects into either high or low velocity throwers based on their…. you guessed it –  throwing velocity.  They then analysed their mechanics to determine what were the main differences between the two groups in…

  • The “X-Factor” to Increasing Velocity

    The “X Factor” might be secret for tapping into a major source of power which can be translated into high throwing velocities.  If this sounds like something that you might be interested in keep reading. Before we jump into what exactly this “X Factor” is and how to use it let’s do a quick review…

  • The New & Improve 60 Yard Dash

    The new and improved 60 yard dash Baseball is a game steeped in great traditions but our means of evaluating a baseball player’s athletic ability by having them run 60 yards in a straight line is one tradition that we should change. The reason for improving the 60 yard dash is that it is not…

  • The Stride Leg

    Here we go with a geeky blog post about throwing mechanics.  As you may or may not know I am in the midst of doing some research for my master’s degree where I am looking at the correlation of various lower body power tests and throwing velocity.  As a result I am reading a lot about what…

  • Healthy & Powerful Shoulder Series

    If you have played baseball I can guarantee that you have done some form of shoulder exercises that are aimed at keeping your throwing arm healthy.  These drills are now a staple of any good throwing program and have been integrated into the game of baseball.  The problem that I see is that these exercises are…
