Lincecum didn’t rely on size. He relied on efficient energy transfer, elite upper body mobility and mechanics, exceptional lower-half mechanics, and momentum to throw upper 90’s.

He’s one of the best examples of how a pitcher can generate elite velocity without elite size.

Just because your season is starting, doesn’t mean you should stop training in the weight room.

Continuing to train in the weight room to stay strong and explosive over the course of your season can help you maintain off-season gains and mitigate detraining from occurring.

[Matt Leon @MLeon9]

Cam came in averaging 83.5. He put his head down, listened, and got to work. Big progress so far. But no where near done yet!

Hip-Shoulder Separation is the angular difference between your hips and your shoulders during the pitching delivery.

In terms of the delivery, it is the rotational delay between the pelvis opening toward the target and the torso remaining closed.

[Top Level Sports @toplevel_sports]

Dom came in with an average FB Velo of 76. He’s been working his tail off and earned this!

[Top Level Sports @toplevel_sports]

Outcomes matter, they're the point.
However, focusing on outcomes doesn’t produce outcomes.
Obsessing over the process produces outcomes.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐭 → 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭

Efficient glove side = better torso position at foot plant, faster torso rotation, cleaner sequencing, and less stress downstream.

[Top Level Sports @toplevel_sports]

The drift is the initial forward move where the athlete’s center of mass shifts towards the plate. It sets you up to move fast.

Studies show that there is a positive correlation between Higher COG velocity before foot plant and throwing velocity.

Move fast down the mound!

[Top Level Sports @toplevel_sports]

If you're an “undersized” pitcher you must “earn” velocity in a different way.

You need to be elite at a few drivers. MECHANICAL SEQUENCING, MOMENTUM + TEMPO, and ROTATIONAL VELOCITIES

🚨Hard Truth🚨

Does your Pitching Coach/ Throwing Trainer keep telling you how good the pitch shape on your Slider, Change-up, etc is after making a tweak, but doesn't have a way to objectively show you the pitch is improving or actually good?
