Working alongside Phil at @RPP_Baseball had a direct impact on my growth as a coach. Not just from a knowledge of content standpoint, but from witnessing the genuine care and energy he has for every athlete that walks through that door.

Proud of you my guy. You earned it! ✊

🧵: How to Improve Hip Mobility in Pitchers. Below is a summary of 3 primary areas of concern correlating poor lead leg hip IR potential arm health issues:

✅Poor decel pattern
✅Transfer of force to upper half
✅Early lead leg

🧵Top 6 Med Ball Exercises for Pitchers and Players

Med balls are one of the only ways to train upper body strength-speed in the frontal plane. They are applicable to both hitting and pitching and can be used to create more efficient movement patterns and improve sequencing.

🧵: Stability is 🔑 to injury prevention

Having a stable base helps distribute forces evenly throughout the body when producing power in a particular movement, such as pitching.

When building a house; which would last longer? One built on stilts or one with a cement foundation?

🧵How to Increase Your Pitching Velocity in the Weight Room...

In the pitching world velocity is how most Ps are initially judged. Unfortunately, there is no ONE thing I can tell you to do to⬆️velocity. But here is a good list to start with...

[Zach Kollar @Kollar5]

🧵Often times athletes are limited to certain loads because of the sticking point. Early in the off-season we’ve been utilizing chains @RPP_Baseball in our max strength block. This allows the athlete to produce force throughout the entire ROM due to the accommodating resistance.

[Nunzio Signore @NunzioSignore]

Thanks to the guys from @ProteusMotion for spending a few hours @RPP_Baseball to talk about usage parameters and VBT. Best way to get better…

Look at us 😌

[Nunzio Signore @NunzioSignore]

🧵2 Athletes can produce the same amount of power but use 2 diff. ways of getting there.
➡️A more “force-based" athlete- uses higher total force output
➡️A more "Elastic/velocity-based" athlete- uses Faster rate of force development
We need to give them more of what they need

🧵 Band Assisted T-spine rotation is a great mobility drill we use @RPP_Baseball to pattern t-spine rotation/extension for athletes that present with a deficit and can’t access it themselves as seen below.

[Phil Tomassi @PhilTomassi]

Bands are a way to maximize increasing power output as well as R.F.D. by making athletes produce force through the entire movement. Another benefit of bands is that they take away the amount of load on the spine.

[Phil Tomassi @PhilTomassi]

🧵: Utilizing rate of force development with experienced athletes can be a helpful tool to increase the speed at which muscle recruitment happens. This is most effective after a max strength block when muscle recruitment is at its highest.
@RPP_Baseball

[Phil Tomassi @PhilTomassi]

After finding the weight the athlete will be training at, 25% of that weight will be from band tension (140lbs on bar, 45lbs in bands). Because the bands will be on both sides you need to divide 45 by 2 to figure out how much tension is required on both sides.
