One of the highest mechanical correlations to pitch speed is shoulder horizontal abduction (scap retraction) at front foot plant. High level throwers are able to get their arm behind their body and apply force to the arm for a long time. Here are a few ways to train it ⬇️

Your mechanics on the mound are a byproduct of your movement capabilities. Push the envelope with your physical capabilities or you will not reach freaky positions on the mound.

Stop viewing the changeup as a finesse pitch. Changeups and splitters are the least in zone pitches, so they should be used accordingly. Use it late in the count when hitters are looking for heaters and watch how many whiffs you get

Most pitchers waste time in the “medium” zone. Medium intensity throwing, medium weightlifting, half assed mental approach. Wanna throw gas? You’re better off going 1 day per week at max intensity than 3 medium days each week. Make your body adapt!

If you backspin your FB well and can’t consistently throw a quality changeup, it’s likely the splitter could be a weapon for you. Splitters can often be picked up very quickly for certain pitchers because once you find the grip that works for you the queues can be very simple.

When the hips are too closed off at foot strike, it is almost impossible to properly block. The pelvis will continue to rotate at the same time the lead leg accepts all the force generated down the mound, which will usually lead to a leak and a block after the ball is delivered.

Depending on stride length & front hip/hamstring mobility, some pitchers will land with their foot more out in front of their center of mass. When the hips land opened up from rotation, this creates positions makes the lead leg block happen naturally.

A pitcher’s lead leg block likely will not improve from actively trying to straighten their leg harder. A good lead leg block is a byproduct of quality pelvic rotation. The positions the body is in at front foot strike allow the body to redirect force back up thru the front leg

Everyone knows you should warm up before training, but many undervalue the use of a warm up AS training. Training 6 days a week warming up 15 min per day = 78 hours per year Use those 78 to teach your body new things, reinforce movements that help you, and get you ready to go
