Pitching in the Playoffs

By · Comments (0)

I’m sure everyone has seen the pitching in the playoffs this year. Pitchers are dominating the game. I would like you to notice that all the pitchers velocity is between 93-101 MPH.

Are all these guys going slow or fast to the plate?

They are all going fast towards home plate. But what are your coaches telling you, slow down and stay back. Sound familiar? But in reality, they are getting their hips going fast towards their target. The proof is in the pudding.

That’s why our velocity protocols are vital to get kids to the next level. We’ve had over 800 kids around the country improve their velocity between 4-11 MPH. Most importantly, we have had no injuries!!!

So what we teach works and is completely safe for all ages. Go and google:

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel velocity training.

This is the program we use. So don’t get left behind and fall for the old conventional wisdoms. Get a head and get with the most science based research and protocols.

Check out our Velocity Training… Look forward to hearing from you.

Is Your Arm Really Late?

By · Comments (0)

If you been to a little league game or select game, I’m sure you’ve heard, “your arm is late”. What does that really mean?

Usually that means a kid is missing everywhere. The disconnect, is that the arm is not late, but the head is early. Coaches are looking at the arm instead of the body.

If your head is early, then you’re out of sequence. This means your hips are not leading. Hips deliver the shoulders, shoulders deliver the elbow, and the elbow delivers the baseball. If you’re out of sequence it will either lead to inefficiencies or an injury.

Most coaches try to correct this the wrong way by messing with their hands and tell them to get their arm up.

Leave the throwing arm alone, and hands are a non- teaches, they just happen.

If you start from the ground up, you will be in the proper sequence. I see a lot of kids starting with their hands. That will really mess up their timing and sequencing. You have to be in foot strike in one second or less. If you’re in foot strike in one second or less, you will be in the proper sequence, then your mechanics will be good.

Most coaches mean well but end up messing them up more by messing with the natural throwing motion. Remember leave the throwing arm alone. That is, what we call, their signature.

That’s why you need to do your own research on coaches and make sure they have a clue on what they are doing. It’s your kid’s health on the line.

If you have any questions, go to my blog and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Pitching Tips: 9 Phases of Delivery

By · Comments (0)

Hope everyone had a great healthy summer. I know a lot of you are getting back into the groove for winter ball. So I’m expecting a lot of pitching questions and will answer them.  If you have any questions, be sure to ask them right here.

9 Phases of Pitching Delivery

We’ve broken down the pitching delivery in 9 phases. These 9 phases are the protocols that we use at the NPA, so I’m sure there will be a ton questions.

  1. Balance and Posture
  2. Leg lift and body thrust
  3. Stride and Momentum
  4. Opposite and Equal
  5. Hip and shoulder separation & Delayed shoulder rotation
  6. Stack and Track
  7. Swivel and Stabilize
  8. Preset forearm/wrist angle and pitch grip
  9. Release point and follow through

I’m sure there are also questions about the new velocity training that was done on HBO Real Sports. All 9 Phases happens in less than 1.35 seconds. So, there’s a lot of going in a short period of time.

No pitching question is a dumb question.

Just remember that timing, sequencing, and mechanics in that order. If your timing is right, your sequencing will be right, then your mechanics will be right. So leave a question here on my blog and we can get to work.

Remember there’s research based information and opinion based information. Research based is what the best of the best do. It is not by coincidence.

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

Pitching Tips: Reverse Chaining

By · Comments (0)

I’ve seen over the last couple of years, kids doing reverse chaining with weighted balls to strengthen the backside muscles. It seems like they would help strengthen or increase range of motion of the arm. It does neither of those.

You can’t train decelerators reverse chaining, or with resistance training.

The reason for this is throwing is concentric, or shorting of the muscle. Concentric is accelerating your arm. The back of the shoulder, or decelerators is eccentric. Which means the lengthening of the muscle.

It is impossible replicate the speed of muscle strength, the amount the muscle is stretched, or time delay involved in throwing or striking. I know it may sound confusing, but this is how our body works.

Why is Reverse Chaining is Counter Intuitive

Our muscles shorten then lengthen when throwing; so reverse chaining is counter intuitive. It’s also very hard to find your exact arm angle when reverse chaining. The most effective way of training and balancing both decelerators and accelerators is doing the towel drill with a ball 20% heavier and 20% lighter. This will build parity in the pitcher’s arm while also working on his timing, kinematic sequencing, and mechanics. This has been documented and researched by biomechanics. This will also be skill specific. You can do it on the mound or on flat ground.

Another great strengthening exercise is the Wonderweight.  You can see all the info on my web site. It’s a great tool for almost any age and is safer then tubing. Studies have shown that it gets up to 20% more strengthening than tubing. Also, you can use it at different angles and weights. So go check it out, my students all love it and even some of the parents use them with frozen shoulders.

Our summer camp is going great — If you are interested in attending please email me at Redheadsox@aol.com  or call 281.773.6769.

Thanks and feel free to ask any questions and leave comments on my blog.

New Velocity Training on HBO with Bryant Gumbel

By · Comments (2)

Bryant Gumbel, Tom House, RDRBI & New Velocity Training

Hope everyone got a chance to see the HBO “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” last Tuesday. The segment is on a Seattle Mariners pitcher who suffered an unbelievable elbow injury that required nine screws. This story is one your kids should see. It just goes to show if you have a dream, to go after it!!

See a small YouTube clip from HBO of this segment:

Velocity Training — Minimizing Injuries

The show goes on to talk about the velocity training  designed by Tom House and RDRBI institute. The same exact ones that we’ve been using the last year.

The segment goes on to explain that all 800 kids from around the country improved velocity. But here’s the kicker, not one single injury. That’s right, not one single injury!!!

We’ve Been Teaching Velocity Training That Works!

So I hope everyone will watch and understand that what we’ve been teaching works and has the research to back it up. The protocols have changed so you need to understand how to do it the right way.

We’ve had students improve anywhere from 5-11 MPH with no injuries. This is the real deal! So don’t let anyone sell you on something that isn’t true about weighted balls.

This is where it gets interesting, weighted balls have been around a long time, but what we’ve done has already revolutionized velocity training and reduces the chance of injury.

Hear it here first and don’t be fooled by the so-called gurus on the Internet. They take our research and rename it. The weighted ball training that is in right now is 10 years behind. This is a major factor in why there are so many injuries due to misinformation and marketing.

If you want to be the best, train with someone that uses research and has facts to back it up. Opinions are Opinions, facts are facts! Good luck with the season and see you guys soon.

To find out more about the velocity protocols please contact us to set up a session.
