22 Frames of Acceleration: Why How the Arm Accelerates Matters More Than Velocity
Velocity isn’t the full story. A 22-frame acceleration path reveals how pitchers build speed, protect arms, and sustain long-term performance.
Better Extension, More Perceived Velocity: How Sequencing Unlocks a Hidden Edge
Discover how pitchers can increase perceived velocity through better sequencing and extension. Learn the biomechanics behind making 90 mph feel like 95—without throwing harder.
The Roller Coaster Effect: Unlocking Velocity Through Momentum and Sequencing
Throwing harder isn’t about forcing velocity—it’s about allowing energy to transfer efficiently. Learn how momentum, sequencing, and biomechanics work together to maximize velocity and durability in pitching by riding the roller coaster effect.
The Stretch Effect: A Sustainable Approach to Pitching Velocity
Sustainable velocity isn’t just about throwing harder—it’s about optimizing mechanics and energy transfer. The Stretch Effect maximizes separation between the pelvis and upper body, allowing pitchers to generate more velocity without excessive arm stress.
In this article, we break down how Nate Reed, a College of Charleston commit, applies this principle to refine his delivery.
The Best Amateur Pitching Delivery I’ve Ever Seen
Logan Jarosz had the most mechanically efficient amateur pitching delivery I’ve ever seen. This post explores his natural motion, the challenges he faced in player development, and the importance of mentorship over technology in coaching. Discover why individuality in pitching mechanics matters.
The Revival of the Traditional Windup: A Potential Game-Changer for Modern Pitchers
Rediscover the lost art of the traditional windup—a pitching technique that once dominated baseball's golden era. In this detailed exploration, we delve into how this classic method could revolutionize pitching in the modern era, enhancing both performance and longevity. Learn why some of baseball's greatest Hall of Fame pitchers swore by this method, and why it still holds tremendous potential for today's high-velocity pitchers.
