In this case let’s examine arm action. What makes an arm action elite and what differences are acceptable between athletes? 🎥: @mlb

There’s more than one way to throw hard-clearly look at how differently elite pitchers at the highest level do it. However, there are principles, and bandwidths to our model that can help us understand and train toward better outcomes.

Ezra Pate had a big time three inning save to help Bates sweep their series against Bowdoin! Aidan Kiefer with a big save in a rivalry game, with a scoreless inning with a K! These are just a few highlights, lots of athletes are doing their thing!

He has made significant improvements to his arm action-he had been late to cocking, struggled to utilize his pec, and his layback was restricted-all of which he has significantly improved.

Big weekend of baseball for our athletes! Sam Butz increased his mound PR to 93 mph! Sam has a great story, going from 70 mph as a high school sophomore to 93 mph as a college sophomore!

…changes to mobility, strength, elastic qualities, or destabilizing the current pattern via variability and specific constraints. 🎥: @mlb

Throw athletically and allow yourself/athletes to move with intent and without overcueing, but don’t expect that these qualities will emerge in all athletes without…

I remember watching Chris Davis come in for the Orioles years ago and sit high 80’s low 90’s while looking effortless and thinking how impressive that is as it’s obviously a skill he doesn’t regularly train specifically.

‘27 Colby Fesler has worked 6 innings of 2 hit, shutout ball. Holding his 85-86 mark w/ the FB. Tallies his 8th K to end the 6th. @PrepBaseballVA #VAHS26

Just because you’ve heard that the legs are the “Teeth of the tiger” for years, doesn’t mean it’s true. Don’t rely on received wisdom, but instead understand principles. 🎥: MLB and Youth Prospects

…and since we know this is a factor that is associated with ball velocity this tends to decrease ball velocity as well.

Understanding the Lower Body and Throwing You’ll often hear from athletes and coaches that they’re not using their legs. The assumption is often that they should be pushing off very hard and that this is a major driver of velocity.
