[Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. @TopVelocity]

Most pitchers are leaking velocity and don’t even know it.

Stop reaching with your glove side.

Lock it in. Keep it flexed. Rotate it like you’re getting handcuffed.

Why?
Because opening early kills energy transfer.

Stay closed → store more force → release it violently.

That’s how you throw harder. That’s how you stay in control.

This one adjustment can change everything.

If you’re serious about adding velocity and protecting your arm, stop guessing and start training like the pros 👇

[Brent Pourciau, Ph.D., M.S. @TopVelocity]

86% of your velocity isn’t coming from your arm.

It’s coming from your trunk.

And that changes everything.

There are only TWO types of pitchers:

→ The ROTATOR
→ The LINEAR (forward flexion)

Rotators create velocity through aggressive hip/shoulder separation and rotation.
Linear guys create it by driving hard over the front leg with extension.

Most pitchers? A mix.
But the mistake is training like you’re both… when you’re not.

Here’s the truth:

• Rotators NEED more linear force
• Linear pitchers NEED more rotation

That’s how elite arms are built — blending both without killing your natural strengths.

If you don’t know what type you are, you’re guessing with your mechanics…
and guessing doesn’t throw 95+.

We break this down step-by-step inside TopVelocity.

Stop guessing. Start building velocity with science.

Ive started to chug
@acidrainwaterHQ in the 3rd & 6th inning 😂 Don't ask me how this ritual started I guess it's because I break the game up into 3 inning segments in my mind so that I can refocus & stay sharp. Use https://t.co/LitF1L0d99 for 15% off a case

Three of the main tournaments I participated in this summer. Win, lose or draw I got much better this year at holding runners and going deeper into games.
