[@mydiscoverychannel7130]

Hello John, thank you for your advice. My name is Jean-Francois I live in Canada Quebec. Thanks to your precious advice I have increased my speed from 77 mph to 83 mph. Even at 40, I can still be competitive with today's young people. Thanks again a thousand times

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you for this testimonial. I appreciate guys like you who actually put in the work and see the results! Keep it up man!

[@Itsscottybruh]

You were at my tryout today lol

[@swilmsen63]

I've been watching your videos before our season started. I've taken your drills and run them with my team weekly. My team finished regular season 11-4 first place and #1 seed in our tournament. Great videos I appreciate all your help.

[@johnschmidt6327]

Ive made a list of several of the things my 11 year old grandson can improve on from your video to help his velocity so we are going to get to work on them right away. thanks

[@donovanmitchell13]

Thanks this helped me out alot, this summer I will be playing for a team two years older than me, so I will need all the help I can get. Thanks again.

[@KeatonYen]

loving the top 10 videos. keep it up coach

[@LucasToyChest]

Love the way you break down everything into easy to understand steps. More please!!

[@empuraansmontana]

One of the best videos i have ever seen.

[@plazy1586]

It is great that a Major League player teach us kids tips!!!!

[@bopeponis4495]

Hey Coach thanks so much for all of the tips! The way in which you communicate makes learning these tips much easier.

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome! I'm glad they help! Keep me posted on your progress!

[@juanweinbrecht2898]

Thanks for these videos! They really helped me this season in my first year of high school baseball.

[@YouGoPro]

You're welcome! Glad they could help. Anything else in particular you'd like to see?

[@Rubenlol12345lol]

[@tjohnson1122]

This video is the Best. Follow these Mechanics, you can’t lose. Won’t regret it.

[@charliecapener1596]

Keep up the good work and the videos, I have watched them multiple times and they have really helped me to improve my all around game and hopefully one day you will know my name

[@muffinman660]

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome!

[@derinjturner]

looking forward to incorporating more pitches.also i got to recover better i feel like thanks for sharing.

[@shanewhitefeather6298]

When it comes to this well thought out video my advice to young pitchers comes from the 80's movie, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High": "Learn it, know it, live it."

[@YouGoPro]

Shane Whitefeather 🤣🤣🤣🙌

[@fernandon6466]

you the best man

[@jeremygomez7811]

i'm gonna do all the tips! Thanks for this

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome! You're welcome! Keep me posted on your progress Jeremy!

[@landonduplechin7590]

This helped alot! i have a killer cut-fastball, changeup, and a great curve. im super accurate but my fastball isnt ultimately very fast, so thanks!

[@TheAstrixYT]

Great video! Have you ever thought about making a Top 10 tips on how to improve ball placement/accuracy? I feel like for some of the younger kids, learning how to place the ball consistently is very important rather than having good velocity.

[@YouGoPro]

Yes, that is a great idea! I actually have one with 4 tips already here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ7RYquGrdt-aNk

[@jamesc9843]

I always bring my knee straight up but that extra turn during the load generates a lot of power for me

[@YouGoPro]

Nice! It's good that you know yourself well.

[@donthemailman]

I'm a bit late from down Under but it's appreciated helped me make Aus camp

[@kkangshawn]

I am working on translation of 9 pitching velocity killers to Korean and another upgrade has come up just now lol Anyway this is sooooooo valuable as always

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome! Yeh I tried making the translations available to everyone. Is that what you are talking about? Where you are able to translate this video somehow on my channel? Thank you.

[@kkangshawn]

yep, that's exactly what I am doing. I've done by 3/9 and now I'm working 4th. I guess I need to make a request to you to register my work after all is done.

[@empuraaninmontana]

You are my favourite expert.

[@angieydanielito]

I can throw Cutter Slider Change up Sinker Thanks for the videos!! I’ve gotten way better!!

[@IAmHumbl]

[@kbkreg44]

Off topic,,, I watch your victory soles video, and I bought them for my 12yr old son and he was cracking up at how springy & jumpy & faster he felt on the field.

[@chanelsouth1604]

Great video

[@carlosmartinez4625]

What is eating good before or after the game?

[@AnthonyT314]

Do you recommend building muscle during the offseason. Because I'm in high school and during the summer I want to gain muscle but I do not know if that's going to hurt my pitching

[@lukeriha6667]

Be the best pitcher in my league! Now I'm "the best pitcher in travel ball" thanks now I'm the 2026 1st overall draft pick

[@ulricjohnson2203]

What’s the difference between leading with your hips and torquing the hip as a pitcher

[@isaacguthrie9825]

Hey John Madden/YouGoPro Baseball its May 19, 2017, and on Sunday, May 21st I have my last Baseball tryout and I'm using wood bats this year and I have a big blister on the bottom section of my pointer finger do you know a way to get rid of them fast because I got the blister May 17th, 2017 and it's not going away. BTW love your videos man keep up the good work.

[@harrisonmarks7223]

Isaac Guthrie I get these on the thumb on my bottom hand and they are so annoying

[@regressful]

This is for a video for a closer when your a starter you wanna focus on break and control and alittle speed that’s the way I think. Edit:for the people asking no MLB pitchers don’t throw full speed they throw what helps them control and have a sense where the ball will land like control

[@youngdreamchaser356]

plus i subbed

[@max_dani8553]

Coach Madden, I'm a high school first baseman and right handed pitcher. It seems that my velocity on the mound at times can be in the upper 70s/low 80s, and as well where it can be in the lower 70s/mid 70s (as so at first base). This past week, I went to a DII baseball camp and the head coach said that I need to really work on arm strength if I want to have a shot to play college ball (either to pitch or play first base). My question to you, is what are good drills/exercises I can do to increase my arm strength?

[@dmoepurp8378]

THANK YOU!!!!!!⚾⚾👍👍

[@YouGoPro]

You’re welcome

[@v.slavov]

What type of pitches would be effective for setting up the hitter or even attacking him HIGH in the zone. I rarerly pitch more than 40 trows.I usually attack in-out + adding and subtracting speed with overhand and 3/4 fastballs, 12-6 and 11-5 curves and Split changeup with the odd slider or 2-seamer, knucleball, forkball if they foul everything. I want to start attacking high-low.

[@simranlikesthe6221]

soon as I see increase velocity I click it

[@YouGoPro]

Good to know ;)

[@youngdreamchaser356]

YouGoPro I throw82 mph and im 11

[@jackblackman9267]

[@calebethebeastpc7629]

Hey John, Im throwing a curveball along with my sinker, but I don't have good command on the curve even tho Im griping it right, can u make a video on how to have better command on your breaking ball, thanks.

[@YouGoPro]

It doesn't have much to do with the grip. I'd love to answer this in detail in an Office Hours episode. Would you like to send this question in as a cell phone video to my email and then I'll answer it on KZbin? Thanks yougoprobaseball at gmail

[@calebethebeastpc7629]

YouGoPro so i can record my vid and then send it to u at gmail?

[@ogpapaboof3705]

thanks so much my i’m 14 my velocity jumped 60 to 75

[@YouGoPro]

Awesome man keep up the great work!

[@robertyoung5143]

Can you make an updated Glove break in video

[@fritzweilbacher138]

Hi, im 29 years old and want to start pitching. Is that possible and if it is can i send you some videos of how i throw? Thanks

[@seanfurlong3841]

I’m at a D2 college called IUP in PA, I plan on walking on next year and i’m pretty confident i can do it, i threw a bullpen for the first time in a while a couple weeks ago and maxed out at 87, last year i was only hitting 83 if i was lucky. I mainly throw a 2 seam because i do get good movement on it because i’m a 3/4 arm slot guy, along with that i throw a slider, curve, and circle change. Any advice on how to keep my velo at the spot it is now and maybe even gain? Any advice would help a lot, thank you in advance!

[@alloutdoors4181]

Can you please make a video on how to get a better curveball I'm trying to learn it better

[@FranciscoMartinez-md2ct]

Thanks for this video,but I wanna ask you something, Go to the gym, can it affect my arm or speed? I'm 16

[@zackbarrette3737]

Can u do another video on how to throw more accurate

[@benstrickley7428]

What worked for me was focus on legs alot in the gym.

[@garytoothaker6582]

Ok, I've asked before, so here goes again. I'm 70 years, old/ young whatever, and am the starting pitcher for my team 55+ division. HOW often should I practice throwing/pitching per day or week? I've been doing about 90 per session and most games I pitch 70-130 PC per game for a 3-7 inning, depending on back up position players help. I've pitched as much as 157 for a 9 inning game but next day it was difficult to throw 30-60 feet until later in the game playing 2nd base.

[@flaccidnick2448]

When you say blocking off in number two, do I lose velocity when I sort of pull my glove in my chest? I still stop my rotation, but is it better to stop at the elbow like you did.

[@amberramos6931]

What age should a ball player start the 365.2 pitching program??

[@jamzz1385]

do you think i could still be a good pitcher im 5'8 and 14 years old and ill probably grow to be 5'10 max. i'm 145 pounds pretty much all muscle. My fastball now is 70-71 miles per hour and i have movement on it

[@YouGoPro]

The question is do YOU think you can be a good pitcher?...

[@josevillanueva2359]

tip#9 What food (diet) will you recomend for a pitcher?

[@patrickmcbirney4519]

When you stop rotation, is that just simply tucking the glove in? How do you know if you're not blocking off? Thanks.

[@YouGoPro]

Your glove will fall down to the side or fly out to the side and your elbow will be disconnected from your body.

[@bosssauce451]

i feel like every time i throw the ball, my form is different. Any tips on keeping my form/technique clean and consistent?

[@river9925]

👍🏻

[@jermainejackson5716]

how come whenever i throw a fastball i release it like a slider and have elbow pain eventually after a bunch of pitches? Thanks

[@almclean8173]

my son not using a mound yet. do the same rules apply??

[@YouGoPro]

Yeh for the most part

[@187Overkillah]

Hi John, i always wondered, do mlb pitchers throw as hard as they can, because i throw usually around 80-90% to get the ball where i want it to be. The faster i try the more inaccurate it gets. Greetz from germany

[@donnypenney888]

If you throw 100 percent all the time…you’ll never have to worry about varying arm speed(after warming up properly). Vida blue told me that. I wholeheartedly agree. I also believe it promotes gaining the ability to surprise yourself with 110 percent and grips create change in velocity, and arm safety. Having said that that, pitching is all about deception and creating fear in the batters box. Batters used to think I wasn’t right in the head by the end of the game. You gotta have a little bit of crazy in you on the mound, at least it helps

[@brandonclabaugh6187]

You go pro is it better to put nondominate food past dominate cause I dont

[@jackblackman9267]

If you were to recommend one strikeout pitch other than fastball curve and changeup what would that be

[@janlabij7302]

Split-fingered fastball, 100%

[@macguy1863]

Was wondering when I pitch I turn a little in my windup than un coil was wondering if that makes a difference in velocity

[@YouGoPro]

Depends...

[@macguy1863]

Was wondering how do I find my arm slot I tried so many ways but I can't seem to find my arm slot that I can repeat

[@macguy1863]

YouGoPro was wondering how to find good arm slot I tried different ones can't seem to find one I can repeat

[@dallasl4202]

hey I'm a fifteen years old and over the winter break I got a lot more strength and I lost control of my pitching it was so bad I walked 6 people in a game thanks

[@NceJayRios]

508 baby!

[@YouGoPro]

Really?! It's only been 4 hours! lol awesome!

[@brandonclabaugh6187]

When coming set

[@lildrippy9759]

is long toss good for pitchers??

[@YouGoPro]

Yes

[@connormontgomery104]

How fast could you throw?

[@BecomeBenified]

I've always pitched slightly 3/4s but more overhead than sidearm because that's how I was taught, but I noticed when I throw the ball otherwise in fielding I usually have a lower arm angle. I want to try throwing low sidearm and submarine to see if I'd like it better, but I don't know the correct way to do it and no matter how much I watch slow motion submarine pitchers I can't seem to figure out the correct form. Any suggestions?

[@Phoenix-ox2jr]

BecomeBenified I suggest keeping your higher arm angle. Not because it would be better for you, because submarine/sidearm pitchers are dicks.

[@janlabij7302]

Phoenix thinks sidearmers/submarine pitchers are dicks is because they are too hard for him to hit.

Hey, you said that you're better off sprinting than doing long distance runs, but I actually do cross country, and I run 3 miles a day, and then I practice pitching. I throw 72 MPH and I'm 14 years old. I don't know if what you said is very true.

[@jarinrobb4461]

If you run fast you can pitch fast...why are pitchers in the MLB so slow.
