Welcome to Baseball Pitching Mechanics


Do you want explosive power on the mound?

With proper pitching mechanics you can increase your velocity by 3-10 mph.Yes you can!Don’t get caught up lifting heavy weights thinking that is the formula for throwing harder.You do need to condition your body to perform at your best and weight lifting is part of it.However, pitchers aren’t body builders.You won’t throw faster bulking up.In fact, doing that could decrease velocity and lead to injury if you   Pitching Videos
don’t know pitching specific workouts.        
 

Success leaves clues!   Successful pitchers who throw hard have left us great clues.   Some of the best pitchers of all time, like Nolan Ryan, worked extremely hard on their mechanics.   In fact, Nolan Ryan used to work with Tom House, who is known as the “Father of Pitching Mechanics.”   When Nolan was giving his commencement speech during his induction in the Hall of Fame, he attributed his long term success to working with Tom on his pitching mechanics.   That is a clue! All pitchers should continue to educate themselves about proper throwing mechanics.   Not only do pitching mechanics add years to your career; they reduce the risk of arm injury.

 

Using proper leveraging techniques that propel your body forward, in the right direction, is the key to increased pitching velocity.    For example, increasing your stride length and using your landing leg as a leveraging tool to propel yourself forward helps you throw harder.   Of course, there is a right and a wrong way of doing this.  Click here!

 

If you take the time to learn how your body works mechanically, you too will be able to throw faster and have a healthy, longer and of course more successful career.   If you are serious about increasing your velocity and learning how to throw like Nolan Ryan and many Hall of Fame pitchers; we encourage you to invest in your pitching education.   www.simplifiedpitching.com
