Top 7 Pitching Velocity Hacks to Try [Not Clickbait]

Here are 7 variables to experiment with that we have seen add small but significant bumps in velocity with certain pitchers. Don't view these as guaranteed quick fixes - view them as mini-experiments to quickly uncover if they can help clean up various pieces of your delivery. Sizable gains in velocity take time, and everyone has a different genetic ceiling.

It's like a Ted Talk, but actually useful.

[Moonlight-cqbi]

This content is too good... gonna come back and rewatch it over and over

[Evan_-grru]

This is one of the best vids out on this probably- needs more views. Very good presentation, thanks!

[kaileblyon]

The foot placement tip helped me so much. Literally allows me to fully rotate my pelvis

[barrypatterson]

Excellent vocabulary framing using specific words to intrigue your interest then instead of moving on he has examples or explains his intent. This is just a well made video period. Mucho information sir.

[angelfromashes]

#7 is definitely applicable to more than just baseball. I throw javelin and throwing too hard too often can wear down the arm for sure, something I may unfortunately be able to vouch for.

Congrats on your show my opinion you're the best I have seen on the internet. Not taking away from the others cause we learn some from everyone but you're company is the only one that cover about everything about pitching. GOD BLESS plz do a breakdown on pedro martinez my opinion smartest pitcher cause not only mechanics reading the hitters and positioning the baseball. Good job God bless you all

[kevinjiratatprasot]

play this in 1.25x or 1.5x, thank me later

[rome]

can you guys do a more in depth video discussing the inward angle of the backfoot ? Amazing content as always !

[coastsidescience]

I love baseball but play golf now that I'm getting up there in years.I'm a student of the game and a science teacher. Love the "trial and error" based on science approach. Also, several of these hacks apply to golf. Foot placement, grip, hip movement ("X" factor in golf.) Excellent video ...

[PROGAMER]

this is good to know because I've hooked the rubber all my life so the first one could help me alot

[victorrivera]

I like these ideas. Very simple to implement and follow. Thank you.

Make sure to give the old school wind up a try, it worked for me

[rslwannabe]

Wow! It's interesting to me how i think about the small things like this and determine them for myself. I then end up looking them up and im usually right which is cool. Keep up the good work on the information! Athletic Nerds like me need them. I found out that the backfoot facing inside a little bit helps the knee keep tension.

I don't play baseball anymore but these videos are super interesting. It's incredible how much smarter and analytical training has become since I played 20 or so years ago.

Just curious, to what degree of penetration into the general baseball population has this type of training and analysis reached? As in, is your average HS school coach at all familiar with any of these methods?

For Velo hack 3, I can relate. I was throwing a four seamer this late winter/early spring that was 67-71 with 1600 spin. Then my coach told me to try two seam, and it was more 74-76. With lifting, a strong throwing program, and nutrition, I have gotten up to 81.5 on my fastball with about 2000 RPM.

[benjaminpriest]

Can you do a breakdown on Luke little’s mechanics? He throws 105 mph

[venguitartist]

Superb content! It is extraordinarily well formulated and explained

[hiTCAM]

I’m 14
I never really tried to throw as hard as I could when I pitched when I was young but now I do and I can throw 70-75+mph

[coneryj]

i was interested in knowing what the “ideal” timing sequence is.
