Velocity alone doesn’t tell the full story. Two pitchers may throw the same mph, but the path they take to get there can mean the difference between health and breakdown. In this article, we explore how the DVS Arm Impulse Index reveals the efficiency, sequencing, and sustainability behind velocity—and how coaches and pitchers can use it to build lasting success on the mound.

Discover how the biomechanics of shooting a basketball can provide valuable insights into protecting the elbow in baseball pitching, focusing on joint coordination to prevent injuries.

Discover how DVS Baseball’s ground-up approach teaches pitchers to scale intensity, increase pitch counts, and manage workloads through proper sequencing, timing, and lower body engagement.

This article explores how developing a "confidence loop" through precise technical adjustments in timing and sequencing can lead to significant performance improvements for pitchers. It highlights how positive feedback and progress build confidence, which ultimately translates into success on the mound.

To help pitchers tolerate the higher torques of pitch velocity and sustain their performance while delaying major arm injuries, teaching and showing how to incorporate greater impulse of the throwing arm into higher output throwing will be crucial. This approach is vital for both amateur and professional baseball pitchers, enabling them to maintain their value for longer.

The truth is there are aspects of our genetics that predispose us to have the ability to throw the baseball harder than our peers. Recognizing the genetic factors/components that affect velocity is essential to have a logical and realistic lens about your velocity potential. Can you train to improve your ability to throw harder? Of course, I wrote this article to outline four factors to consider when looking to increase velocity and how to better navigate your journey in search of more velocity.

When your current pitching season is over, it's time to recover, rebuild, and refocus in the off-season to prepare for the next season. But, at what point do you put down the baseball and not worry about having to throw hard or performing in a game? And, how do we best prepare ourselves to be successful next season?

Thousands of pitchers blindly follow arm care programs that incorporate resistance bands and weighted balls each year in the hope of helping their throwing arm recover, strengthen, and prepare to throw a baseball. Unfortunately, although the purpose of arm care programs is primarily understood, the validity and science of how the arm care bands help are not. So, if you are currently using arm care bands as part of your program, how do you know if they are helping?

Are you working yourself to exhaustion between weightlifting, agility training, and intense throwing sessions in order to create more velocity on your fastball? At DVS Baseball we understand, and we have a better solution for you. A simple change in mindset and approach will allow you to understand what creates efficiency and optimal function of your body.

The vast majority of all pitching development programs currently being offered lack two essential ingredients; proper sequencing and proper recovery. The reason for this has nothing to do with the acknowledgment that these two ingredients are important but more so with the lack of professionals to communicate the complexities of sequencing and recovery. Luckily, I had the fortunate ability to sit down and interview one of the greatest minds and world leaders in understanding the role sequencing and function play on the human body, Dr. Gary Gray.
