What Is the BIGGEST Velocity Killer?

Not knowing your personal deficiencies and chasing a one size fix all approach is probably not going to help you gain velocity.

Not everyone has the same velo killer and it’s up to you to either find someone who can help identify yours or educate yourself to find them on your own.

this has been the single greatest video for pitching velocity killers, it was actually a guy who knew what he was talking about instead of just blaming mechanics

[landoncastor]

I suffer from sleep apnea and recently saw a decrease in my velo. This video really opened my eyes to get that fixed to see if I can unlock my velo.

[BedrockSS]

ive been very committed to learning about pitching for the last year and this was one of the most engaging and informative videos ive seen thus far

[seanrussell]

The more of these videos and podcasts I consume, the more I realize my HS coaches didn’t know a thing about baseball

[therealbs]

I always thought it was the cheetos that killed my velo. Thanks ben!

[christophercriss]

Wish i had this kind of teaching when I was a freshman in high school...I threw 85 my first year and 88 to 90 my senior year..if i had coaching like this i could maybe had a better chance

[Alexandertygreat]

This is such a perfect example of less is more. He was obviously trying to create more drive off his back foot instead of letting gravity and body mechanics create velo?? Sounds like? Im loving this new approach to baseball, could draft and train a team of killers. Be so sick and fun to play out.

[benicetoanimalsthx]

Cool stuff. Would love to see this approach to throwing applied to serving in tennis.

[johnsonmiller]

Should pitchers workout biceps when they hit the gym? I’ve heard mixed answers about this and I trust what tread athletics has to say.

[christophercriss]

100 mph is great..but i love 88 to 95 with perfect command of each pitch and perfect placement every time...now..you give me 100 mph with perfect potch command....then ok...but most heat don't have command

[matrix.koki]

This video is 10/10 thanks for the tips

[JADiaz]

Wow sleep apnea did that much. Amazing. I’m sure I have mobility issues. Any tips or exercises I should do?

[thebaseballguy]

how do you figure out which part of the pie chart you need to focus on?

[LatebutLearning]

I'm throwing middle middle liners with no drop from 60', but I'm only throwing around 60mph according to my pocket radar. My spin and accuracy is good, so I think my arm action is fine. I usually play outfield and my throws to 2nd are lasers from close to the fences.

The feel, the look, and the glove pop makes me think it's faster than it is. Is there a good way to make sure I am driving with my hips before my shoulder and arms go?

[michaelnetzel]

I really appreciate your information. Always well thought out and presented in a detailed, professional fashion. That said, I really think you should consider eliminating the background music. It’s not necessary and kind of distracting. Thanks for considering.

[SucramRenrut]

Nice video. For anyone here looking for a more specific answer (i.e., one or two things to work on) I would say to learn as much as you can from Tread's videos about creating separation and what that feels like and then work to add explosive strength and maintain (or better, increase) mobility.

[HistoricalWonder]

Friction and gravity, without a doubt.

[nepzski]

this is very interesting thank you guys for linking me this lol

Something mentally stopped my velo during tryouts I was throwing hard which felt to me was lobbing and I was throwing harder than everyone else first 2 pitches of tryouts to the plate fastballs and it was pitcher fielding drills so people kept messing up and the coach said get it over the plate no matter what the first 2 throws were down the middle then after he said that I tremendously dropped velo and kept losing throughout the season to ending up throwing 55mph in highschool level whatever is blocking me is mentally I need to fix it I just don’t know how
