I use to throw this speed in highscool. I was 3rd starter in rotation, crafty lefty hit my spots well. 2 guys in front of me threw heat but that's all they had. So much more to pitching. Miss those days, my arms still messed up
That’s unfortunate. You guys have grown up in the Information Age. Unfortunately not all the info is good info and I think that jacked up your mechanics. I don’t know you so that’s just a hunch. My son is 13 and has been pitching Off and on. His rail thin and only 5’9 with a 6’1 wingspan but throws 68-74. He doesn’t play travel ball. Not going to do all that. It’s too much work on the arm. He hasn’t even hit his growth spurt yet so we really watch how much he works. But more importantly we’ve paid attention to his mechanics. No hard throwing. He’s only went 80 percent max. I’ll let him go as soon as his his growth plates have ossified (turned to bone) I do feel for you guys though. Seems like a lot of you are in the same boat injury wise
@@TheRoadLessChosen hell yeah man, that's what it's all about. Travel ball is just for mediocre kids with bad sportsmanship to show off how much money their parents have. I started last season in 14U rec. ball throwing low 70s, but with just a little bit of extra effort at home in my backyard focusing on good mechanics, I've gotten up to upper 70s and low 80s. btw I'm the exact same size as your kid, 5'9" with a 6'1" wingspan, and velo comes with consistent mechanics and growing into the body. Sounds like your kid's got serious potential, and I'm glad to hear you're keeping him healthy by focusing on mechanics and going 80% rather than blowing your kid's arm out by age 15 like some of my friends' dads did to them with travel ball.
@@ranchdressing474 appreciate the kind words. It’s a journey not a race. As long as the potential shows and you are working that’s what counts. Unfortunately it’s the fast ball that draws the eye. But if you have a nasty off speed pitch the fastball shows deception. Get your mechanics and 3 pitches. Good luck. I hope you do well. I’m sure you will. Forgot to say he’s 14 now and just under 6’1 with a 6’3 wingspan. I think he’s about to have another growth spurt as well. With that being said he did hurt his bicep this summer trying to “throw hard.” He saw the other boys juicing it and thought his strength was in the contraction of muscle and boy did he pay. Yea. When he got pissed he threw gas but he wasn’t in long. Part of the problem was his growth body wise. He couldn’t step too far or he would be on the edge of the artificial mound. He felt a bit awkward in the delivery. Part of that is muscle growth. You boys start feeling that testosterone and think that creates power. Loose muscles creates power with good healthy tension. After the season we took time off and went back to the old feel of just letting the ball go. We went and watched Stanford play my Texas State bobcats in the regional and he got to talk with some pitchers. He was inspired and back at it. His arm is healthy again. No major damage. We did get X-rays. Good news is doc said he had the growth plates of a 13 year old. Meaning he has a ton more to grow.
You see that’s what I’m so mad about. I threw 75 in 13u and 79 in 14u and 84 in January of this year as a 15 year old but I hurt myself and I have to restart everything again in November after not throwing since January. My goal is 90.
It's really a dream to pitch in a real mound i have always dreamed of playing baseball and seeing this makes me want to play but I live in the philippines where there are few baseball teams and tournaments but it's practically non existent sadly ;-; *PAIN*
I know I’m late but if you have ever heard of Kerry Wood and his 20k game one of the main reasons is because his fastball had so much movement and his breaking ball.
@@Calebkkk. Sure it’s nice to have a good breaking ball, but a sinking or running fastball is a great set up for your off speed pitches. Hitters will be struggling.
There is no counter rotation in his upper half. I feel if he delayed his upper half a bit more(counter rotate and keep shoulders closed) Cad would throw even harder! As long as he can drive is back leg all the way through at front foot strike. Land with hips completely open while having closed off shoulders will take him to mid to high 80's. He definitely has a bit more in the tank.
wish I could throw fast. I don't even want to pitch I just wish I could throw the baseball not in a rainbow and fast. Been practicing everyday for around an hour and I'm seeing small improvements. Hopefully I can be a 3rd baseman my sophomore year.
Dude when I go to throw a bullpen the coaches don’t use a radar gun but they say I am throwing between 78-82 range. I threw 2 pitches without worming up yesterday and my arm was sore before I even threw. I only hit 64. But if I do worm up and give it my 100 percent I will probably be in the 78-82 range but my arm is always killing me so I need to rest it all of the time. I am 15 right now.
Texas Baseball Ranch program teaches all 11 “pitching disconnects” that every pitcher should be taught about. Increases velo but most importantly avoids most, if not all, pitching related injuries.
I throw 92 to 93 but never had anyone teach me I just watched videos and recorded myself and slowed it down to see what I was doing wrong no college wanted me 😂
@Jack yea 92 never went to college to play ball or went to the pros lol I can now throw 95 but now I just focus on life maybe I will be recorded in the bullpen at one of those stadiums that have a pitching for fun

i understand what you mean there because i’m a 80-82 lefty with 17-19inches of horizontal run lmfao. but we are always over looked because of the low velo :(
What is pushing doing?? You gotta work with the kids on his lower half! It isn’t about pushing it’s about driving and creating energy in your lower half and legs!! My pops was a big league pitcher for 6 years and he would be sad to see this instruction...
See man. I said the same thing. The correlation to pushing and arm injuries is linked. Driving is way better terminology. Kids and many adults take that literally and are teaching it. It’s not a push.
@@TheRoadLessChosen yes it’s definitely not a push. It’s an initial drift of weight forward into a stable back leg that is driving into the ground to produce energy into a rotation that if efficient should lead to a strong lead leg block in return. A push is what you do when you jump not when you pitch a baseball.
Is there a place where people can just go to like this to see how fast they throw? I was a pitcher and played baseball for twelve years and have always been curious as to how fast I can throw. Watching this guy I know I can throw faster than him so I'm thinking I can throw 90+
@@CadenCunningham_ Yes, it's good, but im not from America, and im don't have pitching couch.Im from Belarus and im vanna throw 97 in mid 16, im will do physical exercise and now, im going to Tenerife and be trained by Nestor Perez(Scout from LA and pitching coach).He say im can throw 100+mph.
Umm is it just me does an “82”... mile an hour fastball not drop. Bro I have been around the game a long time and that ball was not thrown 82 or 85 especially. Maybe mid 70’s
Trying to teach the kid a straight fastball... is this really instruction these days? This kid is gonna get destroyed with a flat fastball!! Throw that 2 seem and get movement working
That’s exactly what it’s supposed to be like. My son has never maxed out his throws and is high 60’s to mid 70’s with no effort. Only weighs 100 pounds and is 5’9 with a 6’1 wing span. It’s opposite of what you think. But as males we are taught to muscle every damn thing we do
83 just quit everyone on my high school team could throw 83 thats average for adult males. when i say everyone i mean all the postion players also. this is a business wow
woah man whats your problem, that kid worked hard and in 3 months raised his top end by 10. i mean i get it, its cool that 'everyone' on your high school team could hit 83 but don't trash a kid for hitting 85. tf man.
Who knows how old he is? This kid might end up doing big things. Who knows? If you seen my son just walk to the mound you’d say he can’t throw hard but he throws straight gas and it just started after the work. Sometimes things click and you advance.
Great camera work. It would be nice to see what was actually going on with the instruction.

Idk why he doesn’t want his fastball to move. Even if you throw 90+ a flat fastball gets destroyed
I know I’m late but if you have ever heard of Kerry Wood and his 20k game one of the main reasons is because his fastball had so much movement and his breaking ball.
@@Calebkkk. sinking fastball and a cutter, theoretically the best two pitches a pitcher can throw

@@Calebkkk. Sure it’s nice to have a good breaking ball, but a sinking or running fastball is a great set up for your off speed pitches. Hitters will be struggling.
He doesn't not want the fastball to move LOL
Why is the coach making the tail on the fastball sound like a sin?
What’s the reasoning behind the resisted back leg? With the red strap
To get more power from the backside and to stay balanced with the front side!😃
