Is Your Warm-Up Hurting Your Velocity? | Pitching Tips

[@BJ2027BSBL]

I stumbled upon this video last night and put it in my head today I had a start against probably the best team I’ve pitched against and began stretching and implementing this into my throwing I got out to about 140 feet max and was just throwing strikes after just starting to turn up my arm and uses 100% legs. I threw 4 shutout innings 5 k’s 1 hit 3 walks. I have just a little tenderness in my bicep after 83 pitches thanks alot guys I was able to sustain velo all 4 innings.

How do you warm up in your throwing? What are your thoughts on the intensity dial analogy? Let me know in the comments. ⬇

NAIA pitcher: start out with just flicking the wrist, then into standing square to my partner and feel the hips rotate then my upper half transition into rockers with the same feeling to about 100 feet. Then go to flat ground mechanics riding the lower half then go into crow hop. Definitely find my self using more arm intensity than needed in the beginning. I like the idea of ramping up lower half intensity. Great video thank you

I use plyoballs and j bands and do dynamic warmup. Do you buy into the velo with specific weighted plyos? I bought a stalker radar gun and made huge gains in a week with throwing velo using 3 plyo balls weighing 16,18, and 20 oz but when i throw a regular 5 oz ball my velo is only slightly higher. Should I get a tuning fork for the radar gun?

Absolutely love what you are teaching.

Yup, I like to feel out the back leg a little and the hinge. Then feel out the front leg paw back and naturally the arm will speed up and then I can work on “extension”. Then adding intent “into release” with the arm

Great info! Looking forward to implementing these ideas to my warmup.

Ideally how often should I be working out during fall ball for highschool to increase my velo

[@jarekquinn641]

probably 3-4 times a week

I do Monday single leg Tuesday upper Wednesday squat focused Thursday upper stabilization upper focus Friday deadlift focus Saturday cardio& speed and ive gained 5 mph in 3.5 months

I need to work on my upperhalf since it's pretty weak, I want to be able to pick up a ground ball in my right hand and throw it right away, or be able to pick up a grounder and jump throw to first base

[@rubenbarrera9320]

What I have seen from the videos. Do you teach to recoil there throwing arm. They are going to have injuries of the shoulder and elbow. I agree with long toss.that really helps as long you finish your throw and don't recoil.

Should I get jaybands

[@luke386]

Yes

[@SteelCityDrones]

Great video

[@averagetiktoker]

Love it!

[@gp381]

I heard a podcast by an expert in movements and she said that warming up by throwing lightly and gradually increase the velo, is not warm up. She said your arm should be warmed up before even grabbing a ball.

[@samuelwhitman8705]

That would be stretches then jay bands

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

Yea exactly you should never warm up the arm by throwing. Theirs a difference between warming up when you’re throwing and warming up before throwing. Both are very important. Two different meanings
