What Is the BIGGEST Velocity Killer?

Not knowing your personal deficiencies and chasing a one size fix all approach is probably not going to help you gain velocity.
Not everyone has the same velo killer and it’s up to you to either find someone who can help identify yours or educate yourself to find them on your own.

this has been the single greatest video for pitching velocity killers, it was actually a guy who knew what he was talking about instead of just blaming mechanics

[@landoncastor21]

I suffer from sleep apnea and recently saw a decrease in my velo. This video really opened my eyes to get that fixed to see if I can unlock my velo.

[@BedrockSS]

ive been very committed to learning about pitching for the last year and this was one of the most engaging and informative videos ive seen thus far

[@ckorijonesjr]

Awesome Video Ben!

[@seanrussell7819]

The more of these videos and podcasts I consume, the more I realize my HS coaches didn’t know a thing about baseball

[@commiehunter733]

You do a great service to the game👍

[@benicetoanimalsthx]

Cool stuff. Would love to see this approach to throwing applied to serving in tennis.

Wow sleep apnea did that much. Amazing. I’m sure I have mobility issues. Any tips or exercises I should do?

[@therealbs2000]

I always thought it was the cheetos that killed my velo. Thanks ben!

[@Real_Han_Solo]

Cheetos if anything increases velo and spin rate

Nice video. For anyone here looking for a more specific answer (i.e., one or two things to work on) I would say to learn as much as you can from Tread's videos about creating separation and what that feels like and then work to add explosive strength and maintain (or better, increase) mobility.

[@michaelnetzel4306]

I really appreciate your information. Always well thought out and presented in a detailed, professional fashion. That said, I really think you should consider eliminating the background music. It’s not necessary and kind of distracting. Thanks for considering.

[@nepzski]

this is very interesting thank you guys for linking me this lol

[@treadathletics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnsonmiller1671]

Should pitchers workout biceps when they hit the gym? I’ve heard mixed answers about this and I trust what tread athletics has to say.

[@StrideX21]

Yes

[@dfboiler]

With every athlete needing potentially something unique to unlock their performance, how do you as Tread ensure the right approach is taken when any one of several performance coaches is assigned an athlete, is there peer review of the plan put together for a remote athlete?

[@somemediocreguitarist]

I was a Tread remote athlete for 7 months and worked in house with them for a little bit, there is a ton of collaboration and working together to find a solution that works. I went from 82-84 topping 85 to 87-89 topping 90 in this time period. They are legit

[@aljon5947]

Theyre transparent about “leading others down the wrong path” during their early years. So they used those experiences for their approach.

[@Alexandertygreat]

This is such a perfect example of less is more. He was obviously trying to create more drive off his back foot instead of letting gravity and body mechanics create velo?? Sounds like? Im loving this new approach to baseball, could draft and train a team of killers. Be so sick and fun to play out.

[@thebaseballguy9929]

how do you figure out which part of the pie chart you need to focus on?

[@treadathletics]

Best way is to find a coach who actually knows how assess you. Training with us is obviously the easiest/quickest way, but you need to vet any coaches you might work with and make sure they objectively assess and train their athletes and have hopefully coached hundreds of high level athletes as well.

[@omararrieta113]

I think I have the same issue as him

[@MrSeed2018]

you know what you talk about.

[@pizzlesauce]

Friction and gravity, without a doubt.

Something mentally stopped my velo during tryouts I was throwing hard which felt to me was lobbing and I was throwing harder than everyone else first 2 pitches of tryouts to the plate fastballs and it was pitcher fielding drills so people kept messing up and the coach said get it over the plate no matter what the first 2 throws were down the middle then after he said that I tremendously dropped velo and kept losing throughout the season to ending up throwing 55mph in highschool level whatever is blocking me is mentally I need to fix it I just don’t know how

[@Ian-yf1rl]

Your problem is most likely mechanical. It's possible to fall into poor mechanics during a season, especially if you are focusing on what a coach said one time instead of doing your job. Do what this guy talks about and 'sharpen your axe'. Hone your craft. Confidence will come with preparation and practice.

[@hudsonhouse2289]

I wouldn’t listen to coach. Just throw hard and then learn to throw strikes doing it

[@foenem5291]

the #1 velo killer is poor diet and bad sleep. thats #1
