9 Pitching Velocity Killers - If you fix these, YOU WILL PITCH FASTER!

baseballtrainingprograms.com/3... Instantly Increase Your Pitching Velocity
In this video I share with you my 9 Pitching Velocity Killers and how to fix each and every one of them so that you can pitch faster and start dominating hitters. Some of you may recall the video I posted last year called the 7 Pitching Velocity Killers. Well, I've added 2 more pitching velocity killers to the list AND explained how to fix them all. So this video is one of my most valuable pitching videos I've ever uploaded. If you're a pitcher, a pitching coach, a parent of a pitcher, you need to share this video with other pitchers so that we can help fix pitching deliveries across the country! That is my goal with this video. The pitching tips you'll hear in this video are:
Pitching Velocity Killer #1) 0:48 Not Getting Deep Enough Into Back Leg - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is sitting into your back leg, leg drive, ground force, and the pitching drill called Sit Drives.
Pitching Velocity Killer #2) 2:36 Opening Your Front Side Too Early - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is leading with the side of the butt, swinging open the front door, hip speed, and the pitching drills called The Wall Drill and The Toe Tap Drill.
Pitching Velocity Killer #3) 4:14 Collapsing on the Front Leg - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is shin angle, strong front leg, and the pitching drill called Up The Mound Throws.
Pitching Velocity Killer #4) 5:46 Flying Open With The Upper Body - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is starting 45 degrees or more closed off and the pitching drill called The Reverse Wall Drill.
Pitching Velocity Killer #5) 7:56 Not Getting Enough Hip To Shoulder Separation - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is hip and shoulder separation mobility, rotational energy, and using medicine ball throws to get more explosive through your hip to shoulder separation. Also, here is the video I mention for this tip • 6 Simple Stretches to ...
Pitching Velocity Killer #6) 10:24 Being Disconnected with Throwing Arm - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is arm drag, staying connected, loading to unload, and using the Connection Ball to help fix this pitching problem.
Pitching Velocity Killer #7) 11:43 Getting Around The Baseball - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is staying behind the baseball, pronation, and the pitching drill called Pivot Picks.
Pitching Velocity Killer #8) 13:48 Early Pronation - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is learning the right way, being conscious of the timing of your pronation, and as a community getting this word out about this (share this video).
Pitching Velocity Killer #9) 15:43 Having Flat Shoulders - Some big ideas we talk about to fix this problem is having a tilt in our shoulders and the pitching drill called The Rocker Drill.

Please leave a comment below! I love answering all questions, replying to all comments, and just talking some baseball with you guys! So, which of these 9 Pitching Velocity Killers do you need to work on?

[@tomleyland2891]

I played professional baseball myself and agree with *MOST* of what he's saying, but please keep the following in mind: 1. The leg drive section he talks about applies to a form of pitching style known as a "Dip and Drive". Think Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, and most power pitchers. There is another form of pitching style most pitching coaches also teach known as a "Tall and Fall". Think Steve Carlton. The best thing you can do is work with a good QUALIFIED pitching coach 1:1 as pitching mechanics have to be tailored to you PERSONALLY. You need to find out what kind of pitcher you are and you do that with a good qualified pitching coach (preferably a former minor or major leaguer) , NOT EVERYONE IS A POWER PITCHER and we know that less powerful pitchers can be quite effective. 2. The drills are good. 3. You need good mechanics and in order to really learn them, I recommend that you learn them using full motion and not starting and stopping while throwing (freeze frame). Guys can get paralyzed by too much analysis. The best thing you can do is to record video of yourself and to FEEL yourself making mistakes, and feel when you're getting it right. There is no substitute for feel. 4. Every young pitcher needs to learn to throw with their LEGS! This not only increases power like he's showing you here, it prevents injury, increases longevity, and let's you throw more innings. 5. Pitchers need to throw, throw, throw, and throw as much as possible to build arm strength. Do long tosses as much as you can, throw footballs (Nolan Ryan made this famous), and pitch as much as you can. This is all more important than simply lifting weights.

[@karlrovey]

Carlton wasn't Tall and Fall. Look at footage of him pitching. He follows the guideline given in the video. None of the common examples of Tall and Fall actually use that style of throwing, whether Carlton or Nolan Ryan (who you correctly identify as a drop and drive pitcher).

Great video. My 9 year old, Billy, is 6’5”, 280 pounds and he throws 99 mph pretty accurately. His curve ball moves about 6 feet from right to left but I have been looking for tips to get him to throw harder.

This is an amazing video. After viewing hundreds of videos on pitching velocity, etc. I think this is probably the best one out there. It presents and breaks down the fundamental issues clearly and to the point. Tons of great info. Will definitely be incorporating a lot of this into my coaching next season. Great job!

[@JC-yi7vu]

Probably the best video of yours I've seen. A+ content. I coach youth pitchers and you've hit not just velocity killers but stuff that will help guys be more accurate and keep healthy.

Great stuff! I'm a weekend warrior who started pitching a little later and as such, my mechanics are all self taught/learned. I love to study and talk the art and am always amazed at how much I still DONT know or can still learn. This has helped my guys and I out immensely! A lot of guys know stuff but can't communicate it.

Probably one of the best "Fundamentals of Pitching" videos ever created. John breaks down common mechanical flaws in a way that as a coach, I can see, understand, & focus on. He also provides drills for improving/correcting each issue/flaw. Great instruction for both new and experienced pitchers, coaches, and parents. Great Job John and THANK YOU!

[@stevenwroblewski9848]

I appreciate your knowledge and the willingness to share it. This type of instructional information can help and literally save kids from destroying theirselves.

Awesome video! My son worked with a D1 college pitching coach recently and there were many similarities between the two. However, your video and lesson provide a deeper understanding of why the mechanics are as they are.

[@michaelmorris4626]

Coach! You da man! My kid is a 6’4” 174 lb leftie and I honestly thought his velocity was maxed out until I saw your video and you made us realize just how much we’re still doing wrong! Thank you and keep em coming!

[@joshlopez6691]

I’ve played baseball since I was 6 yrs old I’m forty now and have obviously had many coaches through the yrs. Throughout that time I remember most all of the coaches who thought me the wrong things as well as the ones who were spot on. I’m fresh out of the flinger baseball league and finally back to real pitcher catcher baseball. That means I have to teach every kid who’s going to pitch from the ground up. This pitching video is a huge help. I was taught fingers back when you break your hands and in two days from now at our first practice I was going teach my boys the same thing. This video may have saved our all star team this year. As far as I’m concerned one of the most helpful pitching videos I’ve seen so far. Thank you for taking your time to create this tool for me to become a better coach. It’s all about the kids man.

[@ReptileSmile13]

thanks a ton coach! this is such great and well explained advice. i was a pitcher and these videos really make it easy to help explain pitching mechanics to kids, even ones younger than 10. sound stuff!!!

I am 66 years old and have been pitching for 40 seasons. High school, American legion, 4 years of college, college semi-pro league in the summer and now adult amateur baseball. I have never seen a video with such good tips that make so much sense to me. I played in college from 72 through 76 and did not get real good coaching as far as pitching fundamentals. A lot of what I learned I've taught myself. But this video is outstanding and I cannot wait to start training for next year using your pitching tips. I know my velocity is not what it could be even though I am 66 years old so I look forward to employing your fixes and seeing my velocity pick up substantially relatively speaking for my age. Thank you. Thumbs up I am subscribed and following you.

[@Ireland831]

Watched this before, but it took on new meaning for me tonight. Trying to help my son get from 50/70 to Pony. He has great control and command, but his velocity is sub par. He leaks power all over. All my years of baseball and utilizing a local pro for pitching tips, (2x World Series Champ). The main thing that got me in this vid was all the areas of load. We think of that with hitting...I thought of that when we sit and leg drive toward home. The concept of separating our shoulders and hips, while I do it, I was not aware of it and couldn't communicate it to my son. The other was the arm angle as the ball is brought up. I have a vid of our local pro that clearly shows that move just as coach Madden demonstrates. I just never really thought about that as another "load" point. This opened my eyes to all the spots where our power can leak. Thank you coach Madden...great vid.

Hey coach, i've been playing baseball since I was two years old. I didn't try out for my high school baseball team for my freshman year because I didn't think I would make it. My local baseball league coach asked me if I tried out and I told him no and I told him that I didn't think I'd make it and he just said "really?" I just started pitching this year and I am 15 years old. I can page around 75 miles an hour, my coach wonders why no one else has let me pitch or seen something in me. You've really helped me with everything, thank you so much.
