Hi Ben! This is Hector Berrios sending a big thank you for a job well done. You really took a deep dive researching the material to post a detailed version of what transpired during his off-season. I’m happy for Aroldis, to show the type of athlete he is back on the MLB stage. Thanks again Ben, and keep up with your amazing work.

[@treadathletics]

Thanks Hector! I responded to your DM on Twitter when you have a chance.

[@hdn4626]

👀

[@B3n85_]

Hector told me that one of the big things he worked on him with was that he was landing too closed, and he opened him up more. You can see it here in these side by sides too.

[@nicohartojo7916]

That’s one of the first things I noticed but wasn’t sure if it was just a by product of rotating better or intentional. Thanks for the insight

[@southpaw602]

you beat me to it! seems like opening up some helped his right leg to brace better. with the yankees his right ankle sort of wants to buckle to where his lower leg wants to take the knee to 3rd base side. now his lower leg visibly tilts toward 1st and stays that way til long after ball release.

[@jghol8455]

I’m the same height as Chapman and a LHP with a similar build and always used him for a reference in delivery. Him getting that horizontal in the hinge is insane 🤯. Great breakdown

[@tonydalton939]

Back on the juice.

[@YouGoPro]

Hell yea! Great breakdown! Hector is the man! I know this was mostly about velocity but you should see some of the stuff Hector is doing for his MLB guys as it pertains to command. Mind blowing stuff. I hope you get to pick his brain on that on the podcast too. Nice video clip in the middle by the way 😉

[@treadathletics]

Preciate the clip!

[@doctor_fede_cscs]

I’m a PT working with a MLB pitcher that’s working with Hector in Florida. Hector’s system is legit, if there was a PhD in pitching he would have one.

[@jeffreysmith6604]

Chapman has incredible flexibility and has a baseball strength. This guy is just strong. Leg presses 900 and arm curl with curl bar with 2-45 lb plates on each side and does it for reps. It very much reminds me of Nolan Ryan when he went to the Rangers and House change his workout program and Nolan got more on strength program and added more mass but increase his body speed. Glad to see Chap getting it together again

[@ultra_toxic3131]

With a little career with music , I can say for sure that going through the motions slow with a band would be incredibly beneficial, learning your body and feeling the muscles you are using in your delivery can give you a better idea or “que” to feel that stretch or separation. I love the idea! Edit: I also noticed that the band straightening his leg after his drift is a lot similar to shoheis as it keeps their hips closer giving them more room the wind their shoulders.

[@francois13able]

Hey Ben, My name is Francois Castillo & I’ve been subscribed to your extremely helpful content for years now, I’ve learned nearly all of my pitching mechanics through your mechanical breakdowns on other pitchers. I actually have done 1-2 lessons with Scott F…When he lived in Illinois.. I’ve been up to 99 with the help of just watching your free content, as unreal as it may sound.. I would love for you to do a breakdown on my favorite pitcher Jhoan Duran! It’s amazing how consistent his 4-seam has been at 101 mph this year compared to 99 last year!

[@marianorivera3272]

Chapman has one of the most beautiful deliveries out there.

[@ryancrawford8042]

I will take your word on it. You probably know a thing or 2. I met you at Little League WS last year actually. Thank you for making time for the kids. That was inspiring!

[@DifferentFan0]

@@ryancrawford8042that’s not the real Mariano Rivera

[@BenFishing23]

Great Breakdown!

[@joshuapatrick682]

Chapman is that rare talent that just doesn't give a shit all the time. When he does, he's electric which i put down to him being in a reliever/closer roll. he's bored when he goes for several games without pitching.

[@swgz600]

Man’s got a dumper

[@josepenajr4319]

This breakdown is gold

[@mattleikus5720]

loving all the clips of the orioles hitting

[@darrenmcollins]

Great break down. Thank you! I would love for you to break down Gerit Cole from last year to this year on how he has avoided the HR ball so far this year, which seemed to have plagued him in years past.

[@metabreaker1185]

Lots of Rosin and sweat.

[@wilandercruz7403]

I love it . Hey Man, Would you please brake down Noah Syndergaard before TJ and after TJ? I 'm very sad to see him throwing very sad.

[@JordonCulpepper]

Your eyes amazing I couldn’t even see that till you pointed it out 👏🏾👏🏾

[@SG-jm7np]

He doesn't look out of shape like he was with the Yankees

[@jt-music-media]

It makes a lot of sense to me that Mr. Hector emphasizes going slow at first when fixing technique! In music, we must practice very slowly when a fundamental change is made to our playing technique. The body likes slow. Slow means it can process everything. Then it can gradually speed that new process up! I dunno, just a musician's perspective on this cool subject.

[@Megabyterex]

Your analysis is some what right, at 5:20 he is pushing/extending more the back leg in the 2nd frame vs the first frame.

[@tonyrauls1941]

Squat and overhead press for strength, stretching for mobility. I'm 42 and i throw harder than i did in my 20s because of this. The snatch and clean and jerk may be the most overlooked movements in all of strength and athletic training.

[@darrellmilliones3076]

Facts

[@ryandouglas8382]

That's true. It's a very good power and strength movement. I was at my strongest when I was doing them a lot. Was lean but weighed like 15lbs less too

[@commiehunter733]

Mobility and range of motion is the key when you get older. . The strength is there, that's why stretching and warming up is so important

[@joshuapatrick682]

i'm curious where he will be at the trade deadline....i'm thinking Texas if they're still in the hunt.

[@SleepDrifter69]

I would love a breakdown of Zac Gallens mechanics. He's one of my favorite pitchers in the league right now and his arm speed is incredible.

[@tupacalypse88]

god damn thats fast

[@DrewVerdin]

I've used a lot of what Hector teaches and it's really helped me and my pitching students

[@vkblue317]

Mr. Brewster, could you recommend a good drill for dropping lower onto the drive leg.

[@cosimocarrera7565]

Can you please do a breakdown on alek monoah and why he's struggling a little bit this season. Please?????

[@JB-by1zl]

Chappy is a regular season stud. Nothing more.

[@joshuapatrick682]

Now, can someone tell Jacob deGrom he throws too hard please? you can still have an effective two main pitch arsenal and dial it back 2 mph so you're not always ripping your arm apart every time you throw...

[@ronlehew1479]

You brought up the age thing with power pitchers. If you haven't already done a video of Nolan Ryan. That would be a good one for people to see since he was still breaking 100mph into his 40's. Randy Johnson would be a good as well and for the same reason. He was over 40 for a power pitcher.

[@nokbbang_Han]

good feed

[@Roysorb]

This was great, I'd love to see a breakdown of a submarine pitcher sometime.

[@tupacalypse88]

that would be cool

[@coleswilliams7232]

Definitely need to get hector on a podcast asap

[@ambiorixacevedo]

Crazy how i found this video 2 hours after I was arguing with a guy about the same thing you talked...

[@badcornflakes6374]

That giant leg extension reminds me a bit of Satchel Paige

[@danielcastiglione5328]

Back to his old mechanics! Big change from last year.

[@KSKUNKS]

4:59 we can see Chapman's leg days paying off

[@poindextertunes]

Had no clue he plays for the Royals now. I’m from KC and I might actually start watching baseball lol

[@rrrey4448]

Remind me of Kenly Jansen's wind up when he unloads with that right leg

[@B3n85_]

A guy I have been watching for the last year or so is Josh Staumont, if you could do a breakdown of him that would be awesome. He has some of the cleanest mechanics (when he's right) I've seen, and I use clips of him to compare against other guys when I'm trying to figure something out.

[@marcusa9503]

His velo fluctuation is kind of weird though. I remember he was averaging 99 in 2020 and topping out at 102. Then in 2021 he lost like 2 mph on average and only topped out at 98. 2022 he lost more on average but got back to topping out at 102. And then this year his velo is down to 96 while only topping out at 98

[@santumi2298]

chapmans got a GYAT

[@BermudezAB]

Good

[@WeiJie_Chen]

Chapman is the beast 💪

[@bluefalcon3ID]

The crappy thing is we never have a lead late so he can save a game for us. Or a lead at all. Gonna be a rough 20 years for us in KC

[@exoduscodm7807]

He almost faces 180 degrees before throwing in between the twist and the drop 😮

[@ecupirate0023]

Off season training with A-Rod.

[@jhordanymezquita1859]

Carlos Rondon Next🔥

[@elcee3292]

Looks like that new load is allowing him to create more rotation before release

[@chrisb6734]

I feel from these clips , he may be getting a little more layback as well

[@NotExplicable]

His shoulder follows through the whole motion with the ball. Vs him opening up before the throwing motion is complete.

[@jonahaere1276]

Aggressive loads through the backside >>>

[@Maurice895]

Justin Verlander has resurged also, the guy is 40 and is pitching like he's 29 again🤣 Verlander was finished it seemed at 31 years old with a 4.54 ERA and somehow at the age of 39 he has an ERA of 1.75, 18W and 185 strikeouts🤔 Not trying to imply PED use, just seems strange.

[@conversationswithzo]

He’s also in better shape I also think respecting the game helps performance Many times the money, power and fame was all almost gone with the domestic violence situation Then you go do your job and you can’t, the baseball field is no longer a sanctuary Life will humble you, it’s either you embrace it or fight against it

[@SucramRenrut]

Yeah you have to imagine it took a little humbling to get to the point of being willing to put in the work again.

[@conversationswithzo]

@@SucramRenrut that’s facts

[@ryancrawford8042]

His avg fastball velo was down 7%. That is the same as a guy going from 92 to 86 back to 92. Given the scenario it is feasible. It would be different if he never averaged 100 until now,

[@BermudezAB]

[@jusstnc1759]

[@treadathletics]

Your own mechanics or a big leaguer's mechanics?

[@ElegantHood]

Honestly after the Astros cheating scandal and chapman break down in 2020 and failure to cooperate in 2022 seasons this change is really good for him. Hopefully by trade day hell sign with a team playoff bound he just needs continue improve his pitching and sign sequences.

[@thekrustychub5038]

Damn Chapman thicc
