Velocity Tips for Sidearm Pitchers Ep64 @TopVelocity

[@Skate_To_Survive]

Thanks a lot guys. I’m 14 and My coaches said to throw over the top and not side arm. But then once I switched my arm slot to over the top, I couldn’t even throw strikes and my rotator cuff started to hurt, so then I switched back to side arm and now I’m pounding the strike zone, and now my rotator cuff doesn’t hurt anymore and my arm feels awesome

[@MariposaEdits]

Always get extra coaching if you are changing slot to make sure you are getting the mechanics right. I am not a tall guy but I do love the sidearm. Train hard do not be affraid to seek help.

same here dude

[@Jesse_Cerv-Mont_07]

Yo what, the same thing is happening to me right now

[@Mandotransformers.]

Happened to me too. My last teM yelled at me about sidearm pitching so I tried overhand like I used to and my throws were garbage. So I went back to sidearm and now the can't hit my pitches lll😅​@@Jesse_Cerv-Mont_07

My son was theowing 81 over the top at 14, he switched to sidearm and had good success. A coach tried to get him to go back and he didnt have the success he had before OR with his sidearm approach. He tried for several months and i told him to just fond a good sidearm coach and fo back. He now submarine slots at 81mph and is a go to pitcher for his travel ball and HS team.

i couldnt pitch over the top so one day i switched to side arm practicin with my sis nd kept throwing strikes, and does long arms count im short but got good arm length and have a good arm

[@fvw1187]

I haven’t played for years but I had a similar experience. Coaches growing up telling me not to throw sidearm. Short and what have you. Finally at like 15 I just stopped fighting it and had a lot more success. I wasn’t elite or anything but definitely works for some people better.

[@kamithejokes76r25]

oh i get it he's talking about "sidearm" pitchers like semi-submariners if you got true sidearm (as close to 0 degrees as possible) there will be no problems with rotation at all

[@speedagar6292]

I am 15 and 172cm tall I wanted to be a pitcher for my college and club team but I could barely throw any strikes. I tried doing sidearm in one of my college games and I got a perfect strike. So I started pitching sidearm and now I can throw perfect strikes and I toy with the batters because I know exactly where the ball is going.

[@speedagar6292]

What I am trying to say is to throw the ball how you feel comfortable throwing it.

[@speedagar6292]

@ I stopped playing after my college tournament and continued when my club game started. Which was like 2 months ago. Since I didn't throw any baseballs for like 7 months my throws weren't as accurate but after a week or two, they were back to normal. I recommend you let your kid try sidearm because it is much easier to control your throw while you are pitching. But just be careful because if he plays outfield there is no way he can get the ball from the outfield to home base with a sidearm or even to shortstop. So make sure he still throws regularly but only when he is pitching he can switch to sidearm. I haven't had any problems with throwing sidearm it is painful at first but it gets better after.

[@riverc.931]

I’m not super strong, but I can throw an amazing breaking ball and fastball. I throw sidearm and it really works, I can strike some really good players out

[@frankpalancio8471]

Good analysis about how or why submariners have less velocity than other arm slots.

[@michaelhoggard7583]

How do I get in contact with or work with you guys? I throw sidearm

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Surely Randy Johnson didn’t get all that smoke from just the height.

[@adrianchacin556]

Id say use more rotation for velo on sidearm

[@swampmusic9222]

Hi there...Im 6'4 200 the tall lanky guy that fits the sidearm build. I am 57 with an unrepairable rotator injury. Been pitching for years and was wondering could if i could learn to throw sidearm with this type of injury...don't stick me in right field!

[@SuperHello64]

all you talked about was what the differences between side arm and over the top but not how to get speed in the side arm slot

[@johnrambo4259]

I have very long forearms and wrist. I find I throw faster side arming.

[@ronnierocha42]

I know this is an older video but not once have I heard on this video about natural arm slot.

[@dttsf8966]

natural is what your comfortable with

[@huntergraham47]

What about low 3/4. I’m not exactly sidearm but I get a lot of movement on my fastball. I’m almost a sinker pitcher. I’m about 6’ and I’m 190 lbs. any tips??

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

How do you throw the sinker as a 3/4 guy. My son is 14 and has an absolutely nasty slider and wants to combine it with a sinker. He’s right handed.

[@2ImTea0]

I’m a kid who throw side arm and need to to find velo so this is help full I’m 11

[@trevor5834]

Do you have anything against drivelines approach to gaining pitching velocity, or was that just a joke.

[@jcassady]

Watching this for non baseball purposes. Can anyone explain hip/shoulder separation to me? And significance? Thanks in advance.

[@dttsf8966]

what i got out of it is your bones can break

[@nicholaslepage4340]

Hey any #pitchingtips for submarine pitchers? Is it ok to pitch submarine at 6 foot?

[@UnleashedPhysique]

Nicholas Lepage being 6 foot is ok, I'm 6ft and I throw a true submarine where the hand is about 6 or 7 inches off the ground. The key is to have a lot of back muscle and be able to put as much leg force in as possible. It is hard to throw ur legs in cuz at one point you may get lazy and just use your arm, but your velocity will be extremely low.

[@zahidkhanafridi4382]

hello I m zahid khan kk frm Pakistan and I m sidearm picther thank u I don't know about this thank u so much you all

[@bfal24]

Watched several pitching coaches move kids to sidearm because it's "easier on their arm". Seems like it would cause more arm stress since it so hard to use hips,shoulder rotation in that tilted position. Is that accurate? Thanks

[@CoBeX31]

It's easier on the shoulder because that's just how shoulders are made. Going over the top goes against your own anatomy. It's easier on the elbow because you don't get the "L", you don't have to throw your elbow into a position it's not made for. It's just the more natural way for your arm to move.

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Sons never had an issue. Says he doesn’t even feel his arm. His slider is filthy and he has movement on the fastball. Sidearm is actually safer.

[@kenheon9083]

Hey guys looking for a program for my son his fastball is 87 from a low sidearm slot but with someone to critic his mechanics should be able to get 90+ any info would be appreciated

Sidearm is wild and scares batters. BAM Shut up batters.

[@tpsreports0153]

Chris sale? I don't know if it is impossible to throw hard when you throw side arm

[@georgechapa3320]

TPS Reports01 yeah when ur someone as tall and lengthy as Chris sale ur going to be able to have a lot of hip shoulder separation from any slot u go with.

[@dttsf8966]

i think side arm is easier
