Throwing is throwing Yes, throwing the javelin won’t translate to the baseball. Oh, and yes, here is javelin thrower from Instagram throwing a baseball 120m (roughly 393 feet). Say what you want, but if you have the capability to throw a ball almost 400 feet, I bet you could

I have been around countless upper 90’s throwers, and they all feel completely different things. I’m all for sharing ideas, but when you get 17 year olds who throw 85 to create a massive checklist of cues in their head before they throw, you’re doing way more damage than good.

Really cool to see a lot of different elements in play here during his ‘Velocity Training’. The ability to weave these things together coherently in a case-by-case basis is what allows athletes to progress faster and faster in terms of developing skills that actually transfer.

Passive Throwing The arm is not an active element of the throw. Listen to one of the greatest throwers in the world discuss those concept a bit, then see if you can wrap your tiny minds around this concept.

Hot take: people are obsessed with dry reps and doing “feels” because they are obsessed with feeling like they’re working hard & they’re scared of objective feedback and failure. Maybe instead of making imaginary progress with your pre throw feels, get good at actually throwing.

Lower Half thread part 2: Pitching is not javelin or cricket. There is no run-up, have to be able to generate and transfer energy from a standstill. As we rotate into the front hip (known in javelin as the block), energy is transferred up the chain and into the baseball.

At 6’ 165 lbs, and your avg fb is almost 98, there’s probably a few things we could highlight about Randy Rodriguez. One thing to highlight is the elastic dynamics of the shoulder girdle. Good luck thinking that your banded cuff work will prep you enough for ~7500° per second.

Driveline No, not that evil business that @drivelinebases built. It is the phase of the pitching delivery where the arm relaxes into ER and unwinds into IR through ball release and was a term coined by the late Dr. Mike Marshall. It goes hand-in-hand with forward trunk rotation

Are you the guy always playing catch and feeling out your mechanics at 70%, but they never quite make any difference when you actually throw at full speed? It might be time to get out of your own way and allow the change to happen by combining what you’re feeling with reality.

Learn to leave the throwing arm behind you, and allow yourself the ability to transfer force over a greater time period—aka MORE VELO. Too many athletes trying to generate force rather than transfer it. All about waiting until the last second to flip the switch.

Ever wondered why catchers and shortstops have the cleanest arm actions? Their sole focus is to throw runners out. Combine this with the insane time constraint they have and this results in big time movement efficiency. Mechanical changes are best made via constraints and goals.

Phenomenal thread. Training the lower half really isn’t super complicated: 1. Build the movement capacity to move through ER and IR 2. Get strong enough to where you don’t fall over at FFS 3. Use it to setup proper sequencing for the trunk and arm (the real juice) to unleash ⚡️

So, if the lower half’s primary responsibility after foot plant isn’t to transfer energy up the kinetic chain, then what is it? I posit that the lower half’s job is to be rock solid stable so that the trunk can go hog wild and rotate as fast as possible🤷‍♂️

Here’s a super interesting drill we superset w some maximal intensity work in order to contrast maximal tension, w maximal relaxation, and proper timing. Even snapped a little still pic, to show just how the arm lags behind, the pec stretches, and we can maximize energy transfer.

Clemson commit—JP Cunningham decided enough was enough and it was time to unleash the beast and beat up on Sloop. Popped a 31.6” w 25lb’ers. And the work is just starting. More to come. @ian_walsh11 @SheleyJake @CombineBase

@E_Mart97 If the goal is to isolate the lats then sure. But not sure that should be the goal if you’re using these exercises

Watch Dane struggle here as he tries to generate the throw with the arm, rather than leave it behind and let the body work. #training #baseball #baseballtraining #pitcher #pitchertraining #sportspecific #100mph #90mph #javelin #90mphformula #passivethrowing #hashtag

What’s the point of having more stability if you’re sacrificing function? This doesn’t inherently mean you’re doing anything risky at all either; you can ensure joint stability and tissue integrity without overly focusing on stability training. It's all context dependent.

@ben_baggett like a dolphin or something. It makes me happy and it's not hurting anyone else. We could have a son and he could be Aqua-man

How can you view the pitching delivery in the same way that you see the golf swing? These 3 major phases can help us simplify and understand what’s going on during the pitching delivery: Load Transition Release

convinced of anything. He is one of the smartest minds in the game of baseball, yet will continue to tell you that he knows absolutely nothing. He’s pushed me more as a player, a coach, and a thinker, more than anyone in my career so far, and I couldn’t be any more thankful.

To say I'm excited about the Whitewater and Buford series would be an understatement. Both teams are at least top 25 in the country

Menk has put in a lot of consistent work and been through a ton of ups and downs since meeting him at Combine a year ago. Seeing a lot of kids your own age commit is tuff, especially when you know you’re better. Kid stayed consistent w his work, and the results came
