@@rlpolgar I was never a fan...until I got a pair of the 2006 huraches. Those were the most comfortable spikes ever. And they were high tops (or maybe mids). In 2007 they made them too heavy though so I went back to the 9 spike low tops but those huraches were still my favorite spike ever. Super light and comfortable. Awesome to pitch in. Never liked any other high top though.
2nd and 3rd drill are mind-blowing. the 2nd drill can also be altered in different ways to train upperbody stabilization. In general: most of your videos are pure diamonds. So many useful tips, which gives an unseen insight into how baseball cracks are getting the maximum out of their body!
My son is 15 years old...6'1 and 225 lbs....He has a strong arm but not the fastest going towards the plate, These drills should help him correct or is there something else also that might help him ?
Need a video of the mechanics of his throws to give you a direct conclusion of what he needs to work on, but don't listen to this video at all for pushing elbow out in front, it NEEDS to spiral around the head, tread athletics has an amazing video for it, tread athletics has an amazing program and a lot of free videos teaching amazing mechanics.
I love these drills. Especially the tee drill. I was wondering how many pitches is too many because there are pitch counts but then we also throw bullpens at practice. Obviously listening to my arm is probably most important but do you have an opinion on a pitch count that combines game and bullpen pitches?
No pushing off the rubber, please watch any big leaguer's lower half and the knee is bent as the body comes towards the plate. If pushing off, the knee would be straight like a basketball player going for a rebound. The hip/shoulder separation is where the vast majority of force/velo comes from. Seated drill is not bad but check out the knee drill where pitcher is on 2 knees using their hips and trunk to generate velo and the using the upper body to go to the plate and using the glove to prevent spinning out or becoming inefficient. Taking the legs out of equation with the knee drill shows 85%-90% velo comes from everything core and above.
love this video! he noted that he would hit 70 or so sitting down if he did it right and I just hit 72 trying this drill. I don't throw near as hard as him on the mound tho so is there a large mechanical flaw with my legs?
your arm is supposed to spiral around your head, you do not lead with your elbow, you do not release the ball in front of you. You release the ball in line of your ear. "Any powerful pitcher". throws that way. Don't listen to that. Leading with your elbow increases stress on your rotator cuff and lowers the possible layback.
Uhm, a catchers job is to keep you confident, if you want to be the best athlete...ok..but we know who is the workhorse and sets the pace for the team.HAHA
I hope this audio is better for you guys! Watch this video next! th-cam.com/video/1_vM0_5QdGU/w-d-xo.html
what do you think of all the kids wearing high-top baseball cleats? do you feel it limits them in pitching?

I love that you ask so many questions I had a lot of them going through my head
Love this... going to implement the seated throw tomorrow with my guys!
I absolutely love the upperbody isolation drill. Great explanation!!!
Outstanding content, thanks for sharing. 👍

Is this a complex in Cocoa Beach Florida??

Nice
You can do from your knees too

Yes. If you have the arm action to throw 70 in a seated throw, you have a good enough arm action to throw 95+
@@craigstem849 love to hear that! haha well I guess I'll hammer down on my mechanics! appreciate the feedback and thanks for the motivation!
or scoop and throw
Need Trevor Bauer on your channel on the regular
Throw some pitches

How’s the audio on this one?
Sounds good 👍

Dude - kill the music - ugh
We’re giving refunds today only! Just let me know how much you paid to watch this and I’ll send your refund right away! Thank you!
I disliked because “pitchers are the best athletes on the field” everyone knows shortstop is the most athletic. Awesome video though
Pitchers are the most athletic. It’s science.
Only a salty position player who just struck out looking would say this 😜
Catchers!
T-ball throw! Love the idea of working on arm speed with no wasted motion. Great stuff.
Should lefties take grounders at second and throw to third
Third
if you have a metel pole put you'r front leg on the pole and lean on your back leg.
thabnks so much dude
great stuff man!
Can’t find the watch straps, clicked the link, but it says 0 results found :( help?!
good
good stuff
Hi
But wouldn't you destroy your mechanics?
What do you mean? These will only help your mechanics
